Leading and getting my hands dirty with computer vision and AI projects for diagnostics and treatment planning in the world of medical laser devices

Part time with ADASKY (www.adasky.com/)

R&D of all algorithmic aspects for thermal imagers. From state of the art calibration to customized applications (target detection and tracking, image fusion); from concept and feasibility study (MATLAB) to overseeing hardware implementation (Verilog, VHDL) .Since Jan. 2014 - PI of a project financed by the Israeli CSO in the general field of multi-spectral imaging.

R&D of image processing and pattern recognition algorithms in the field of medical diagnostics. The work on projects in the domain of CAD (Computer Aided Diagnosis) and video skimming (shortening) covered all aspects from feasibility studies and definition of requirements, through algorithm development, to software implementation and verification. Also in the line of duty, cooperated with the marketing team and medical staff, aided in patent filing and worked with external R&D contractors.

Research:Numerous research projects in the fields of machine vision, autonomous robotics and real-time video processing. Besides conducting individual research, these projects, sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, involved working with several research teams from different disciplines and supervising 4th year students’ projects (about 10 projects each year). Latest main project: development of machine vision algorithms as part of the Israeli team participating in the DARPA Urban Challenge 2007 competition for autonomous vehicles.Teaching: 1. Lecturer of the “Introduction to Parallel Processing” course (winter 2004/5 and 2006/7).2. Teaching assistant of the "Introduction to Control Theory" course.3. Instructor of the parallel processing track at the "Advanced Micro Computers" lab. 4. Co-supervisor of 4th year students’ projects – about 10 projects each year. 5. Developed experiments for the control theory lab.6. Teaching assistant of the "Digital Signal Processing" course (one semester).
