SPECIAL GUEST

On March 29, following the UCSF-FAU scientific sessions, Comaniciu will deliver his keynote speech for that ci2 anniversary event, “Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare, the Road Ahead.” He will share his insight on the collaborative rather than confrontational potential between imaging specialists and new imaging algorithms. As he has said, "Artificial intelligence is not here to replace doctors, it’s here to augment their intelligence and relieve them from repetitive tasks so they can focus on what they do best – patient care."

Dorin Comaniciu, PhD serves as the Senior Vice President for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation at Siemens Healthineers. His scientific contributions to machine intelligence and computational imaging have translated to multiple clinical products focused on improving the quality of care, specifically in the fields of diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, and precision medicine. He has co-authored 550 granted patents on healthcare technology and 350 peer-reviewed publications in the areas of machine intelligence, medical imaging, and precision medicine, which have received 58,000 citations, with an h-index of 97. Dr. Comaniciu is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a Top Innovator of Siemens. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, ACM, MICCAI Society, and AIMBE, and a recipient of the IEEE Longuet-Higgins Prize for fundamental contributions to computer vision.
