Hi, I'm Erik Engelhardt | erik.raik.engelhardt@gmail.com

a recent PhD graduate in Digital Signal Processing from Kiel University, specializing in non-invasive electroanatomical mapping. With a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Microelectronic Systems, I combine expertise in advanced signal processing techniques, real-time optimization, and machine learning to develop cutting-edge algorithms for improving cardiac diagnosis.

My Research

I recently completed my PhD research on developing novel algorithms for non-invasive cardiac electroanatomical mapping. My work bridges traditional signal processing and modern machine learning techniques, providing more accurate and less invasive methods for diagnosing heart conditions. I have successfully submitted my dissertation and am preparing for my defense. During my PhD, I developed expertise in working with large codebases and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, using KiRAT, a real-time framework built in C and C++, with Qt for user interfaces. My technical toolkit includes Rust, Python, C++, and OpenCL, with extensive experience in Git/GitLab for collaborative development.

Transitioning to Industry

As I completed my academic journey, I transitioned into an AI engineering position in industry. In November 2025, I started working as a software developer with a focus on AI applications at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen. My unique combination of signal processing expertise, machine learning knowledge, and teaching experience positions me well for developing innovative AI applications that make a real-world impact.

Lifelong Learner & Beyond

Outside of my core work, I'm passionate about continuous learning and exploring new fields. Whether it's diving deep into the intricacies of Transformers in machine learning or studying the latest developments in AI, I'm always expanding my knowledge and applying it to solve complex problems.
