The prize, endowed with 10.000 Euro, is awarded by the Technische Hochschule Deggendorf to individuals whose doctoral research makes groundbreaking contributions in the field of artificial intelligence. Dr. Karstensen\u2019s doctoral thesis focused on simulation-based control learning for patient-specific autonomous navigation in endovascular interventions, addressing the challenge of transferring learning-based control from simulation to real-world medical robotics applications. The work aims to make life-saving endovascular procedures more accessible to patients in regions where specialist physicians are scarce. The award was presented by THD President Prof. Waldemar Berg on May 5, 2026, at the Technische Hochschule Deggendorf.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"faudir\">\r\n         <div class=\"format-compact\">\r\n        \r\n                <section class=\"format-compact-container\" aria-labelledby=\"section-title-054494-1904\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"profile-image-section\"> \r\n                            <figure itemprop=\"image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"FM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-60x40.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-140x93.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/files\/2024\/10\/2024-Portait_FMU-705x470.jpg 705w\" itemprop=\"contentUrl\"><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1706\"><meta itemprop=\"dateCreated\" content=\"2023-10-18T11:02:31+00:00\"><meta itemprop=\"license\" content=\"https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/en\/imprint\"><\/figure>                        <\/div>\r\n                                            <header class=\"profile-header\">\r\n                       <h1 id=\"section-title-054494-1904\"><a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/en\/faudir\/prof-dr-franziska-mathis-ullrich\/\"><span class=\"displayname\" itemprop=\"name\"><abbr title=\"Professor Doctor\" itemprop=\"honorificPrefix\">Prof. Dr.<\/abbr> <span class=\"namepart\"><span itemprop=\"givenName\">Franziska<\/span> <span itemprop=\"familyName\">Mathis-Ullrich<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1><p class=\"organisation_name\"><span class=\"organization\" itemprop=\"name\">Professorship for Surgical Planning and Robotic Cognition<\/span><\/p>                \r\n                     <\/header>\r\n                     <div class=\"profile-details\">   \r\n                                         <\/div>\r\n                <\/section>    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPARC member Dr. Lennart Karstensen has been awarded the Anton Fink Wissenschaftspreis f\u00fcr K\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz 2026, together with Caroline Haslebacher.
