Brief Biosketches

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.
