Palestinian press on my appointment as tenure-track professor at the University of Bonn (23.12.2021)

As of 1 January 2022, Shadi Albarqouni was appointed to the W2 professorship for Computational Medical Imaging Research at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bonn, as the faculty announced on 11 January 2022 (Medical Faculty news, in German). Palestinian news outlets had already reported the appointment in December 2021, when he was still an AI research group leader at Helmholtz Munich. The longer reports trace his path from Gaza: bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering at the Islamic University of Gaza, IT work at the Palestinian Ministry of Health, teaching at the Islamic University and the University College of Applied Sciences, and early projects on telemedicine for Gaza.
