Andrew F. Laine, D.Sc., is Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology (Physics), and the Director of the Heffner Biomedical Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Since 2001 he has served as Vice Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia . Professor Laine pioneered the application of multiresolution representations for feature analysis of digital mammography and ultrasound. He served as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and edited the book, “Wavelet Theory and Applications”, Kluwer, 1995. He has jointly chaired the SPIE conference on “Mathematical Imaging: Wavelet Application in Signal and Image Processing”, during the years 1993-2003, and co-authored several book chapters including “Wavelet Applications in Medicine and Biology”, CRC Press, 1995, and “Time-Frequency and Wavelets Transforms in Biomedical Engineering,” IEEE Press, 1998. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the book series Emerging Technologies in Biomedical Engineering, sponsored by the IEEE-EMBS Society and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (Elsevier). He also served on the program committee for the IEEE-EMBS Workshop on Wavelet Applications in Medicine in 1994, 1998, 1999, and 2004. Dr. Laine was recently elected to ADCOM of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, and is Chair of Technical Committee (TC) on Medical Imaging for the EMBS, and a member of the TC of IEEE Signal Processing Society, BISP (Biomedical Imaging and Signal Processing). He was the Program Chair for the IEEE EMBS conference in 2006, held in New York City and is the Program Co-Chair for IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) in 2008. He is Vice President elect of Publications for the IEEE EMBS, starting in January 2008. He is a Senior Member of IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) and a Fellow of AIMBE (American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering). His research interests include methods of multi-resolution analysis applied to problems in medical imaging, image analysis and signal processing, computational biology, computed aided diagnosis, pattern recognition in biology, biometrics, and applied mathematics. |
