Dr Sotirios A. Tsaftaris, obtained his PhD and MSc degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) from Northwestern University, USA in 2006 and 2003 respectively. He obtained his Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Currently, he is a Chancellor’s Fellow and Reader (US equivalent Associate Professor) in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh (UK). He is also a Turing Fellow with the Alan Turing Institute.
From 2006 to 2011, he was a research assistant professor with the Departments of EECS and Radiology, Northwestern University (USA). From 2011-2015, he was with IMT Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca (Italy) serving as Director of the Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis Unit.
He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics. He was Doctoral Symposium Chair for IEEE ICIP 2018 (Athens). He has served as area chair for MICCAI 2018, IEEE ICME 2018 (San Diego), ICCV 2017 (Venice), MMSP 2016 (Montreal), and VCIP 2015 (Singapore). He has also co-organized workshops for ICCV (2017), ECCV (2014), BMVC (2015), and MICCAI (2016, 2017). He has also served as guest editor (IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging; Digital Signal Processing – Software X; Machine Vision and Applications).
He has the received best paper award (STACOM 2017), twice the Magna Cum Laude Award (International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, ISMRM, in 2012 and 2014), and was a finalist for the Early Career Award (Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, SCMR, in 2011).
He has authored more than 140 journal and conference papers, particularly in interdisciplinary fields, and his work is (or has been) supported by the National Institutes of Health (USA), EPSRC & BBSRC (UK), the European Union, the Italian Government, and several non-profits and industrial partners.
His research interests are in machine learning, medical image analysis (medical image computing), image-based plant phenotyping, image processing, and distributed computing.
Dr Tsaftaris is a Murphy, Onassis, and Marie Curie Fellow. He is also a member of IEEE, ISMRM, SCMR, and IAPR.
