Biography
I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles. My research has focused on the development and application of novel artificial intelligence and medical image analysis techniques in the detection, diagnosis, and staging of cancer disease. I received my master's and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering both from Carleton University in 2016 and 2020, where my Ph.D. work has been awarded the university medal for outstanding graduate work at the doctoral level. I then joined Johns Hopkins University as a postdoctoral scholar where I worked with colleagues in the Department of Radiation Oncology to design and implement AI-based methods for real-time MR-guided gynecologic cancer radiation therapy. I joined UCLA in September 2021. I have worked as an R&D engineer in the medical device industry for several years.

Biography
Dr. Mirabela Rusu received a Master of Engineering from the National Institute of Applied Sciences, France and her MS and PhD in Computational Biomedicine from University of Texas Houston. During her postdoctoral training at Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Rusu developed computational tools for the integration and interpretation of multi-modal medical imaging data. Dr. Rusu joined GE Global Research in 2015 as an Image Analysis Scientist and developed analytic methods for biomedical data interpretation. Since 2018, Dr. Rusu leads the Personalized Integrative Medicine Laboratory (http://pimed.stanford.edu) which focuses on developing analytic methods to spatially align radiology and pathology images in patients that undergo surgery for cancer treatment. Moreover, her team uses the registered data to label the radiology images and extract pathomic MRI biomarkers that allow the training of deep learning models to automatically detect and distinguish indolent from aggressive prostate cancer on MRI.

Biography
Dr. Flores oversees NVIDIA’s AI initiatives in medicine and healthcare to bridge the chasm between technology and medicine. Dr. Flores first joined NVIDIA in 2018 with a focus on developing the healthcare ecosystem. Before joining NVIDIA, she served as the chief medical officer of digital health company Human- Resolution Technologies after a 25 + year career in medicine and cardiothoracic surgery. She received her medical degree from Oregon Health and Science University followed by a general surgery residency at the University of California at San Diego, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford, and a cardiothoracic surgery residency and fellowship at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Flores also has a Master of Biology from San Jose State and early in her career received an MBA from the University at Albany School of Business. She initially worked in investment banking for a few years before pursuing her passion for medicine and technology.

Biography
Caption Health CTO and Co-Founder Kilian Koepsell leads the company’s efforts to use the latest in artificial intelligence and deep learning to bring the diagnostic power of ultrasound to more healthcare providers, democratizing access to healthcare and improving patient outcomes. Prior to co-founding Caption Health, he worked on developing computer vision algorithms matched to the human visual processing system at the Redwood Neuroscience Institute and UC Berkeley — research he brought to Caption Health’s ultrasound guidance software. He also founded White Matter Technologies and served as a Senior Scientist at IQ Engines, which was acquired by Yahoo! for its Flickr group.
