Head of Computational Imaging at MIAAI
Ass.-Prof. Dr. science. med Sepideh Hatamikia completed her PhD and also a postdoctoral position in biomedical engineering field at Medical University of Vienna at the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at the Digital Image Processing Laboratory.
Her main research interest includes medical image processing (image reconstruction, image registration and image segmentation), artificial intelligence (machine learning and deep learning) as well as 3D printed imaging phantom development.
Ass.-Prof. Dr. Hatamikia is a researcher at Austrian Center for Medical Innovation and Technology (ACMIT) since January 2018 and continues collaboration with this research center on different research projects. She has received the innovation award 2021/2022 in the field of medical technology in Austria for her project titled “Customized 3D imaging – collision avoidance in CBCT for interventional imaging” which was the core element of her PhD thesis.
