Computer Vision News - January 2017

Computer Vision News: Julia, tell us more about yourself. Julia Schnabel: I studied my first degree in Computer Science in Berlin . Through that, I became interested in medical imaging at a very early stage. I did my Master’s project on a small medical imaging application. That led me to do a PhD in London in medical imaging . That’s what I have been doing ever since. I’ve been in the field for over 20 years and now I am a professor in computational imaging in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at King’s College London . I also look after a Center for Doctoral Training in medical imaging which is run jointly between King’s and Imperial College London . It’s a four year training program, and we hope to push through 20 Computer Vision News Women in Computer Vision Julia A. Schnabel - King’s College London Women in Science We continue our series of interviews with women in computer vision . This new section, which we started with the CVPR Daily at CVPR 2016 , hopes to help mitigate the severe gender imbalance in the computer vision community by getting to know better some remarkable female scientists and their career paths. This month, we interview Professor Julia Schnabel , who is currently Chair in Computational Imaging at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, King’s College London . “ It’s because of our passion that we often take on more than we can chew ”
