Summary

 

Overview

Ben Glocker is Professor in Machine Learning for Imaging at the Department of Computing at Imperial College London where he co-leads the Biomedical Image Analysis Group. He is the Kheiron Medical Technologies / Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Safe Deployment of Medical Imaging AI. He also leads the HeartFlow-Imperial Research Team and is Head of ML Research at Kheiron. He holds a PhD from TU Munich and was a postdoc at Microsoft and a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. His research is at the intersection of medical imaging and artificial intelligence aiming to build safe and ethical computational tools for improving image-based detection and diagnosis of disease. He has received several awards including a Philips Impact Award, a Medical Image Analysis – MICCAI Best Paper Award, and the Francois Erbsmann Prize. He is a member of the Young Scientists Community of the World Economic Forum and a member of the AI Task Group of the UK National Screening Committee advising the Government on questions around clinical deployment of AI for screening programmes. He was awarded an ERC Starting Grant in 2017.
