S1E12 - The Intersections of Computer and Medical Science with Dr. Dana Cobzas

Today we enter the world of medical imaging and computer vision, exploring the spaces in which computer science and medical science intersect. Here to help us understand it all is Dr. Dana Cobzas. She is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at MacEwan University, and her areas of expertise include imaging and computer vision, with a particular interest in mathematical models for medical imaging processing. You can follow up with Dana’s MS lesion segmentation challenge here and here. February is Black History Month, and we’d like to take a moment to shout out Five Artists 1 Love, an annual showcase for local Black artists to highlight the cultural diversity within the community through art. Catch them at the Winspear Centre this May. There are also other ways to engage this month, such as through the EPL, and through local events organized by MacEwan University or The National Black Coalition Society of Canada’s Edmonton chapter.
