Introduction to the speaker：
Prof. Bart M. ter Haar Romeny Bart M. ter Haar Romeny is professor of Biomedical Image Analysis (BMIA) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology, and distinguished professor at Northeastern University in Shenyang, China. Appointed in 2001, he handed over the chair to Prof. Pluim in 2014 for medical reasons. From 1989-2001 he was an associate professor at the Image Sciences Institute of Utrecht University. He has been president of the Dutch Society for Clinical Physics, of the Dutch Soc. for Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, and is currently president of the Dutch Soc. for Pattern Recognition and Image Processing. He is currently project leader of the Sino-Dutch RetinaCheck project (www.retinacheck.org), a large screening program for diabetic retinopathy in Northeast China. His interests are medical image analysis, its foundations and clinical applications. In order to understand image structure and analysis, a close look is taken to the human visual system. His interests are in particular the mathematical modeling of front-end vision, linear and non-linear scale-space theory, medical computer vision applications, computer-aided diagnosis, molecular imaging, differential geometry and visual perception. He authored about 160 papers, conference contributions and book chapters on these issues, holds 2 patents, authored an interactive tutorial book on perceptually inspired multi-scale image analysis, edited a book on non-linear diffusion theory in Computer Vision and is involved in (resp. initiated) a number of international collaborations on these subjects. He is a frequent and appreciated lecturer. He is enthusiast user of Mathematica.
Dr. Behdad Dasht Bozorg Behdad Dasht Bozorg received his PhD in electrical engineering from the Faculty of engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Porto, Portugal in June 2015. He has received several awards including a four-year scholarship from the ministry of science and technology in Portugal (FCT) for his PhD. Behdad received his undergraduate (BS.c.) education in Electrical engineering from Shahid Beheshti University, Iran, and a master (MS.c.) degree in Electrical and Telecommunication engineering from Yazd University, Iran in respectively, 2005 and 2009. His current research interests include the areas of medical image analysis, image processing, and computer vision
Dr. Jiong Zhang, currently, is a PhD student at the Biomedical Image Analysis Group (BMIA) at the Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests involve numerical approaches for PDE’s, brain-inspired image analysis, and their application to retinal images. His project is part of the RetinaCheck project (www.retinacheck.org), a Sino-Dutch large-scale screening project for detecting early diabetic retinopathy in China. The goal of his project is to design effective brain-inspired multi-orientation multi-scale image processing algorithms to solve challenging problems in contour enhancement, vessel detection/segmentation, micro aneurysms and drusen detection, as well as building up a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for early diabetic retinopathy (DR).
