Neuroimaging and Interventional Radiology

Biography

Professor Radu Mutihac got his PhD in Physics at the University of Bucharest in 1994 and became full professor in 2000. His main research fields have been Neuroscience, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, and Artificial Intelligence. As postdoc/research associate/visiting professor/full professor he run his research and didactic activity at the University of Bucharest, 1981-on, at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste, Italy, 1993-2004), Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France, 1993), Institut Henri Poincare (Paris, France, 1998), K.U. Leuven (Belgium, 2000-2001). During 1993 through 1994, he acted as Deputy General Director in the Higher Education Department of the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research (MEC), being nominated as the representative of the MEC in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Professor Radu Mutihac has won the position of PhD student supervisor since 2008 and is currently working with an average of 8 PhD students per year. Data mining and exploratory analysis of neuroimaging time series were the topics which he dealt with during two Fulbright Grants in Neuroscience: at the Yale University School of Medicine (New Haven, CT, 1999-2000) and at the University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM, 2010-2011). Most of his significant research in fused biomedical imaging modalities was carried out at the Johns Hopkins University and Kennedy Krieger Institute, F.M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging (Baltimore, MD, 2003-2005), National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, 2011-2013), and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Silver Spring, MD, 2011-3013). Professor Radu Mutihac is member of the ISMRM, ESMRMB, OHBM, Romanian US Alumni Association, and fellow of Signal Processing and Neural Networks Society IEEE, as well as referee for several journals of the Institute of Physics (London, UK), Neural Networks (Elsevier), IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, and evaluator/expert for the ISMRM, OHBM, ARACIS, CNCSIS, UEFISCDI, the Romanian – U.S. Fulbright Commission. and the European Commission (FP7, H2020).
