Nils Porsche — DeepMicroscopy

Hello,
I am a AI researcher at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences where I contribute to the CLE project; an optical Biopsy of Sinonasal Tumors using Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy. The project focuses on:
– Automatic detection of malignancy in CLE images
– Optimization of clinical evaluation parameters
– Virtual CLE-assisted endoscopy

My research interests include self-supervised learning and few-shot learning. I am particularly focused on how machine learning models can acquire robust and transferable representations from limited or unlabeled data, enabling generalization in low-data regimes.

I also investigate related fields such as foundation models and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), with a particular focus on building scalable and data-efficient AI systems.
