Short CV: Björn Krüger studied Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics at the University of Bonn, completing his Diploma in Computer Science in 2006 and earning his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2012. From 2012 to 2015, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Bonn. In 2015, he transitioned to the industry, joining Gokhale Method Enterprise Inc. in Stanford, CA, as the Director of Research and Product Development, where he led the development of wearable sensors for monitoring user posture. Returning to academia, he was appointed Professor of Distributed Media Applications and Technologies at TH Köln in 2022. Since 2023, he has been serving as Professor of Personalized Digital Health and Telemedicine at Bonn University and the Department of Epileptology at the University Hospital Bonn. He is a member of both the Faculty of Medicine and, since 2025, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Bonn. Since 2025, he has also been an Associated Principal Investigator in the Life Sciences & Health area of the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
