Researcher at MIAAI at Danube Private University
Palak Handa has been working as a Computational Scientist at the Research Centre for Medical Image Analysis and Artificial Intelligence (MIAAI) in the Department of Medicine at Danube Private University, Austria since June 2024. She completed her master's in technology (M.Tech.) in Very Large-Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI) from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women, New Delhi, India, and her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Computer Vision and Medical Image Processing from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Delhi Technological University, New Delhi, India in June 2021 and July 2024 respectively. Her Ph.D. work focused on medical image analysis of video capsule endoscopy and colonoscopy data.
She is the founder of MISAHUB (Medical Imaging and Signal Analysis Hub), a research group focused on mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in artificial intelligence in healthcare research, having mentored over 150 engineering and science students since 2019. Her research interests include medical image analysis, computer vision, artificial intelligence for good, biomedical signal processing, and CAD simulations.
She has developed and open-sourced 10 biomedical datasets with various biomedical modalities, including video capsule endoscopy, colonoscopy, electroencephalography, and ultrasound imaging. She has authored more than 12 journal articles, 20 conference articles, and 8 book chapters, and has been granted 4 Indian national patents of international repute, with 6 additional Indian national patents under review. She has co-organized 4 biomedical challenges in collaboration with prestigious international conferences and associations, including IEEE ICIP 2024 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, CVIP 2023 at IIT Jammu, India, CVIP 2024 at IIITDM Kancheepuram, Chennai, India, and the IEEE Delhi Section and Electron Device Society. She is also a reviewer for renowned journals such as IEEE transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, Pattern Recognition, Scientific Reports, IEEE Access etc.
