ECMP 2026

PhD student Beatriz Cruzeiro attended the European Congress of Medical Physics (ECMP) in Valencia in September 2026, taking part in scientific sessions, events for young researchers and a workshop on proton and ion beam therapy.

ADMIT 2026

From 29 September to 2 October 2026, Rauischholzhausen Castle hosted the LOEWE-ADMIT Summer School. PhD student Beatriz Cruzeiro joined lectures and hands-on sessions on imaging, dosimetry, detectors, helium beam radiotherapy and AI.

TrackAF

TrackAF aims to improve the prediction, diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial cardiomyopathy through interdisciplinary research and innovative computational models, and to develop personalised prevention and treatment strategies.

VDE DGBMT

Our group spent a few lovely days in Augsburg, which were marked by interesting talks, new insights and networking at the VDE DGBMT.
Congratulations to Helena Gießler on coming third in the student competition with her presentation of the results of her internship project on electroporation.
The full article entitled “Electroporation-Mediated Membrane Permeability as a Driver of Cardioversion: A Computational Study”, as well as Michele Terren’s article on “Heterogeneity and Intercellular Coupling Prevent Sinus Arrest in a Rabbit Sinoatrial Node Model”, can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1515/cdbme-2026-0143

KIT-IBT

With more than 4,000 participants, the 29th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) took place in Strasbourg in September 2026. Jule from the CaMo group of the IBT presented her poster "Beyond the Left Atrium: Joint Generative Modeling of Bi-Atrial Anatomy" at the associated STACOM workshop (Statistical Atlases and Computational Modeling of the Heart). In her work, she introduces a generative deep learning model for creating synthetic bi-atrial cohorts.
Beyond the presentations, the congress offered a great opportunity for scientific exchange, fresh ideas, and valuable conversations with the international research community.

KIT-IBT

Our group was represented at Computing in Cardiology (CinC) 2026 in Madrid with five oral presentations by Pascal, Carola, Jonathan, Axel, and Lukas, as well as three posters presented by Jule, Julian, and Silvia. The contributions covered a broad range of topics, including atrial cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo syndrome, ECG signal processing, cardiac fibrosis, and more.
It was a great opportunity to meet members of the CinC community, exchange ideas, discuss current research, and connect with researchers from around the world.
