Short Bio for Carl-Fredrik
Carl-Fredrik Westin is Director of Laboratory of Mathematics in Imaging, Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, Boston. His research interests are focused on medical applications of image analysis. He is currently working on analysis of Diffusion Tensor MRI data, and automated segmentation and registration of data from MRI, CT, and Ultrasound, using multidimensional signal processing techniques.
Carl-Fredrik Westin received the MSc degree in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering in 1988 from Linkoping University. He joined the Computer Vision Laboratory the same year where he did research on colour, information representation, image flow, frequency estimation, filtering of uncertain and irregularly sampled data and tensor operators in image analysis. In 1991, Dr. Westin was awarded the SAAB-SCANIA prize for his work in field of Computer Vision. He received the Lic.Techn. degree on the topic feature extraction from a tensor image descriptions, in 1991. In 1994 Westin graduated as Ph.D in computer vision, also from Linkoping University. His thesis "A tensor framework for multidimensional signal processing" presents a novel method for filtering uncertain and irregularly sampled data termed normalized convolution. He joined Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 1996.
