Alejandro Frangi, PhD, FIEEE Professor of Biomedical Image Computing
The speaker is Regius Professor in Computer Science Candidate
Alejandro (Alex) Frangi was born in La Plata, Argentina. In 1991 he moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona) in 1996. He subsequently carried out research on electrical impedance tomography for image reconstruction and noise characterization at the same institution under a CIRIT grant. In 1997 he obtained a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs to pursue his PhD at the Image Sciences Institute of the University Medical Centre Utrecht on model-based cardiovascular image analysis. During this period he was visiting researcher at the Imperial College London, UK, and Philips Medical Systems BV, The Netherlands. Prof Frangi is Professor of Biomedical Image Computing at the University of Sheffield (USFD), UK. He currently leads the Centre for Computational Imaging & Simulation Technologies in Biomedicine, a joint lab between USFD. His main research interests are in medical image computing, medical imaging and image-based computational physiology. Prof Frangi has been principal investigator or scientific coordinator for over 20 national and European projects, both funded by public and private bodies. During 1/2006-3/2010 he was coordinator of the @neurIST, a 12.6M€ European Integrated Project and during 1/2006-12/2009 he was scientific co-PI for the Spanish CENIT Technology Platform CDTEAM funded with €15.7m by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through CDTI
