Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHendrik Mandelkow is a senior scientist and ML-driven biomedical engineer based in Cambridge, MA, who applies two decades of physics and imaging expertise to AI for image-guided therapy at Philips. With a Dr. sci. ETH in biomedical engineering and prior research roles at NIH and Max Planck, he has a strong track record of advancing neuroimaging methods and publishing high-impact papers. He blends hands-on systems programming in Rust, C++, Python and TypeScript with deep domain knowledge to make code and models faster and more reliable across cloud, mobile, and embedded contexts. An active open-source contributor, he notably improved embedded debugging tooling in the widely used probe-rs project, reflecting a rare mix of clinical imaging research and low-level engineering. His work often sits at the intersection of algorithmic rigor and practical engineering — turning complex MRI and electrophysiology challenges into deployable, robust solutions.
