Machine Learning and Medical Imaging

Guorong Wu is an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Wu received his PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science in Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2007. After graduation, he worked for Pixelworks and joined University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2009. Dr. Wu’s research aims to develop computational tools for biomedical imaging analysis and computer assisted diagnosis. He is interested in medical image processing, machine learning and pattern recognition. He has published more than 100 papers in the international journals and conferences. Dr. Wu is actively in the development of medical image processing software to facilitate the scientific research on neuroscience and radiology therapy. Dinggang Shen, PhD is a Professor and a Founding Dean with School of Biomedical Engineering, ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China, and also a Co-CEO of United Imaging Intelligence (UII), Shanghai. He is a Fellow of IEEE, AIMBE, IAPR and MICCAI. He was a Jeffrey Houpt Distinguished Investigator and a Full Professor (Tenured) with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), Chapel Hill, NC, USA. His research interests include medical image analysis, computer vision and pattern recognition. He has published more than 1,500 peer-reviewed papers in the international journals and conference proceedings, with H-index 130 and over 70K citations. Mert Sabuncu is an Assistant Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a secondary appointment in Biomedical Engineering, Cornell University. His research interests are in biomedical data analysis, in particular imaging data, and with an application emphasis on neuroscience and neurology. He uses tools from signal/image processing, probabilistic modeling, statistical inference, computer vision, computational geometry, graph theory, and machine learning to develop algorithms that allow learning from large-scale biomedical data.
