[BIC-announce] CREATE-MIA Summer School Research Presentations

[Christine Dudek]

Hi all,

The CREATE-MIA Summer School is being held starting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 27 and runs until Friday, May 30. The public portion of the event begins with a guest seminar by Dr. Haz-Edine Assemlal from NeuroRx Research, one of CREATE-MIA’s industrial partners, and will be followed by research talks by the CREATE-MIA trainees.  Everyone is welcome to attend these talks which will be presented in McConnell Engineering, Room 437.  The schedule is as follows:

10:00 - 10:30	Restoration of Fragmentary Cardiac Diffusion Volumes, Emmanuel Piuze-Phaneuf, School of Computer Science, McGill University
10:30 - 11:00	A unified assessment of fully automated hippocampus segmentation methods, Azar Zandifar, Biomedical Engineering, McGill University
11:00 - 11:15 	BREAK
11:15 - 11:45	Natural versus Unnatural Stimulation of the Early Visual System, Shahab Kadkhodaeian-Bakhtiari, Integrated Program in Neuroscience, McGill University
11:45 - 12:15	Visualizing positional uncertainty in freehand 3D ultrasound, Houssem-Eddine Gueziri, Electrical Engineering, ÉTS
12:15 - 12:35	Dynamic 3D Facial Expression Capture and Analysis, Babak Samari, School of Computer Science, McGill University

The second (closed) portion of the summer school is a collaborative hackathon in which the CREATE-MIA  trainees will be challenged, as a group, to develop software to solve  problem based on capturing and modeling 3D data using novel cameras.  At the end of the day on Friday, they will present the results of the hackathon to a panel. A number of our industrial partners (Elekta, Imeka, NeuroRx, ORS,  and Rogue Research) will also be participating in the hackathon either by mentoring and encouraging the hackers as they work or by serving on the panel at the end.

Best,

Krys
