Heinrich von Busch, PhD, Product Owner Artificial Intelligence for Oncology at Siemens Healthineers

Heinrich von Busch studied physics at the universities of Bonn, Heidelberg and Kaiserslautern. He received a diploma in 1992 with experimental work on the measurement of the rare quantum-electrodynamical positronium decay mode into 4 photons, and a PhD in 1998 with a thesis on the analysis of pseudorotation in the sodium trimer by high-resolution laser spectroscopy.

In 1999, Heinrich joined Philips Research, where he worked on mercury-free lamps for UV water disinfection before turning to medical topics in 2003, in research for nuclear medical imaging. As a senior scientist, he led a research project on improvements in prostate cancer care, and took over a business development role on the same topic with Philips Healthcare in 2008. Heinrich continued his activities at the intersection of oncology and medical imaging at Siemens from 2011 in outbound and inbound segment management positions for magnetic resonance imaging for oncology. In his current role, he is responsible for several innovation projects in AI for medical image interpretation.
