Research

Keywords: Medical Imaging, Image Processing, Segmentation, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Transfer Learning

Her research interest is in Artificial Intelligence for healthcare, having the potential to improve patient diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Her main focus is the automated detection and segmentation of multiple sclerosis lesions in brain and spinal cord MRI. She is currently investigating transfer learning strategies that can address the variation in MR images due to different acquisition systems or patient populations, so to handle and leverage the large amount of labelled and unlabelled data at training time, and thus achieve more accurate and robust models.

Teaching

Her teaching activity at the Engineering School ESIR comprises Deep Learning for image processing, Data Mining, Graph Algorithms, and Medical Imaging.
