Short Biography

Floris Ernst received the Dipl.-Math. degree (equivalent to M.Sc. in Mathematics) from Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen/Nuremberg (Germany) in 2006 and a postgraduate diploma in sciences from the University of Otago (Dunedin/New Zealand) in 2004. In 2006, he joined the Institute of Robotics and Cognitive Systems at the University of Lübeck, where he completed his PhD focussing on motion prediction and correlation algorithms for robotic radiosurgery. From 2011 to 2012, he worked as a software engineer at an engineering consultancy, specialising on applications in medicine and life sciences. In 2013, he returned to the Institute of Robotics and Cognitive Systems at the University of Lübeck as a senior research associate where he was appointed Professor for Medical Robotics in 2017.
