| info | I am interested in building intelligent image acquisition and analysis systems in bio-medicine. Specifically, the focus of my research is on developing robust and adaptive systems for computer-aided diagnosis in biomedical imaging which combine principles and computational strategies inspired by biology together with machine learning and traditional image processing/computer vision approaches. To build such systems, I pursue research in both basic and applied bioengineering, computer science, and medicine, with a specific emphasis on computational intelligence, neural networks, and biomimetic computation. Here, I focus on innovative strategies for exploratory analysis and visualization of high-dimensional biomedical data and self-organizing systems for pattern analysis. Based on my double qualification as a radiologist and a physicist, I have a strong background in applying these research topics to relevant real-world problems in radiology, molecular imaging, and bio-informatics, including research projects in the fields of functional MRI for human brain mapping, MRI mammography for breast cancer diagnosis, image segmentation in Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s Dementia, multi-modality fusion, and biomedical time-series analysis. |
