Professor of Medical Image Analysis

My research area is image understanding and computer vision, especially in application to medical images. This research encompasses a number of different disciplines including physics of image formation, human visual perception, process of medical diagnosis and evolutionary computation for computer vision. I work and collaborate with computer scientists, physicists, engineers and clinical researchers. Results of our research are being used in clinical practice to help with diagnosis and this brings me a great deal of satisfaction.

As a part of my interdisciplinary work I am involved with the following university-wide activities:

• Doctoral Training Centre for Physical Sciences of Imaging in the Biomedical Sciences (PSIBS)
• Collaborative Research Network in Imaging and Visualisation (CRNI)
