Short CV

Dr. Jakab graduated as a medical doctor at the University of Debrecen, Medical and Health Science Center, Hungary, in 2009. He enrolled in doctoral studies at the Neurosciences Doctoral School, University of Debrecen. In 2011, he was granted the SciEx fellowship (Swiss Rector's Conference CRUS SciEx). During the SciEx program, he worked as a doctoral researcher at the Computer Vision Laboratory, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zuerich (ETHZ). He received his PhD degree in 2012. In 2013, he worked as a visiting post.doc. at the ETHZ and as an Assistant Lecturer in Debrecen. From August 2013, he works as a post doctoral researcher at the Medical University of Vienna.
