Jasmin Riegel

Jasmin is an engineer interested in medical technology and the way the brain processes information. After completing a dual degree in Mechanical Engineering and working for three years as a testing and simulation engineer in industry, she shifted her focus toward medicaltechnologies. 

She completed her master’s degree with a specialization in image and data processing, writing her thesis at the Neurotech Lab. Her research explores how humans process speech in acoustically complex environments. Specifically, she studies how the brain uses visual input to support hearing in these situations. To gather data, she conducts MEG measurements at the university hospital. 

Outside of work, Jasmin is a handball player and enjoys staying active through various other sports.
