Fabian Müntefering studied technical informatics at Leibniz University Hannover, where he received his master's degree in September 2021. Between October 2018 and March 2019, he worked as a visiting researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and contributed to a reference implementation of the MPEG-G (ISO / IEC 23092) standard for the compression of genomic data. Since November 2021, he has been as a research assistant at the Institute of Information Processing in the field of medical information processing.
A list of his publications and citations is available at ORCID.
