Julius Obergassel is a cardiologist in training and clinician scientist, pursuing a specialization in interventional electrophysiology. Julius studied medicine at the University of Münster and joined the University Heart & Vascular Center (Prof. Kirchhof, Prof. Metzner) in 2020. Prior, Julius undertook a research stay at the University of Birmingham (Prof. Kirchhof). Julius is driven by a profound interest in merging classical statistical methods with data science and machine learning. He is keen to leverage the power of modern computing to build clinically highly-embedded, secure and GDPR-conform research platforms that allow for efficient clinic-based but also decentralized, patient-near research, exemplary via remote patient monitoring.

As a post-doctoral researcher, Julius is committed to advance the understanding of atrial fibrillation and its underlying pathophysiology atrial cardiomyopathy via investigation of multimodal datasets using innovative computing-based approaches.

Currently, Julius investigates novel mathematical solutions and addresses clinical research questions in the field of atrial fibrillation and heart failure as one of the principal investigators in the cross-disciplinary lab “Advanced mathematical solutions for circulating cardiovascular biomolecules” within the Hamburg House of Computing and Datascience (HCDS). In the PREDACM project, funded by the German Heart Foundation, he investigates non-invasive diagnostics to predict atrial cardiomyopathy.

Julius would be delighted to engage in discussions and connect with colleagues in the field to exchanging ideas and explore potential collaborations.
