MICCAI 2016 Daily - Thursday

Prior-based Coregistration and Cosegmentation Mahsa Shakeri Enzo Ferrante Presentation 18 MICCAI Daily: Thursday I met Mahsa and Enzo during MICCAI, and they told me about their stories and work. Mahsa Shakeri is an Iranian PhD student, who is currently finishing her PhD at Polytechnique Montreal in Canada. Enzo Ferrante is Argentinian, and he is a postdoctoral research associate at the Biomedical Image Analysis group of Imperial College London. He is also finishing a master on sociology of science. They met a year ago in Paris at the Center for Visual Computing (CVC) of CentraleSupelec, where they started a project that was published this year in MICCAI. Their work is a nice example of how collaboration works in the scientific world. On the one hand, Mahsa had experience on brain image segmentation techniques, and during the last year she was particularly interested in multi-atlas segmentation. On the other hand, Enzo had been working during the last 4 years in the domains of probabilistic graphical models and discrete optimization, focusing on medical image registration.
