Biography:
Kristen M. Meiburger received her Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy, in 2010. She worked as a Researcher under grant from February 2011 to December 2011 at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy. In 2012 she began her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino and obtained her Ph.D. degree in March 2015. In 2013/2014 she was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Ultrasound Imaging and Therapeutics Research Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas. In 2015 she was a visiting research scholar at the Biomedical Simulation Laboratory at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario. She is mainly active in the field of biomedical image processing, with a main focus on vascular network analysis using biomedical optical imaging methods (i.e., optical coherence tomography angiography, photoacoustics) and radiomics and deep learning applications. She is also active in the field of biomedical signal processing and, particularly, in ultrasound image beamforming methods.
