Daniel Rueckert joined the Visual Information Processing
Group in the Department of Computing as a lecturer in 1999
and became senior lecturer in 2003. Since 2005 he is
Professor of Visual Information Processing. He received a
Diploma in Computer Science (equiv to M.Sc.) from the
Technical University Berlin and a Ph.D. in Computer Science
from Imperial College London. Before moving to Imperial
College, he has worked as a post-doctoral research fellow in
the Division of Radiological Sciences and Medical
Engineering, King's College London where he has worked on the
development of non-rigid registration algorithms for the
compensation of tissue motion and deformation. The developed
registration techniques have been successfully used for the
non-rigid registration of various anatomical structures,
including in the breast, liver, heart and brain and are
currently commercialized by IXICO, an Imperial College
spin-out company. During his doctoral and post-doctoral
research he has published more than 180 journal and
conference articles. Professor Rueckert is an associate
editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and a referee
for a number of international medical imaging journals and
conferences.
Julia Schnabel joined the Department of Engineering Science as a University Lecturer in Medical
Imaging in 2007, coming from the Centre of Medical Image Computing at University College
London. She is a faculty member of the new Institute of Biomedical Engineering, and a Fellow of
St. Hilda’s College, Oxford. Julia has been working in medical image analysis for over a
decade, and is renowned for her work on non-rigid image registration methodology,
statistical/biomechanical deformation modelling, with applications to neurosciences and
oncology. She has published over 50 international journal articles and peer-reviewed conference
papers, is an Associate Editor for Medical Physics, and a referee for most major medical
imaging conferences and journals.
