Biography

Dr Fani Deligianni’s holds a PhD in Medical Image Computing (Imperial College London), an MSc in Advanced Computing (Imperial College London), an MSc in Neuroscience (University College London) and a MEng (equivalent) in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Aristotle University, Greece).

Her PhD work was on augmenting 3D reconstructed models of the bronchial tree with 2D video images acquired during bronchoscopy. Bronchial deformation was modelled based on Active Shape Models (ASM) and a predictive tracking algorithm was incorporated to improve tracking of the endoscopic camera.

She was awarded an MRC Special Research Training Fellowship in Biomedical Informatics to explore links between structural connectivity as it is measured with Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) and functional brain connectivity captured with resting-state (rs)-fMRI. She was based at the Biomedical Image Analysis group in Computing Department of Imperial College London. Her research work suggests a prediction framework to study the link between structural brain connectivity and functional brain connectivity.

She developed sophisticate computational approaches in machine learning, statistics and network analysis for the investigation of human brain structure and function. She applied her approach in functional data derived from simultaneous resting-state EEG-fMRI and microstructural indices obtained from neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging of the human brain. In particular, she uses graph theory, machine learning and statistics to describe and characterise complex interconnections between multi-modal brain networks.

Recently, her work has been focused on workload assessment based on neurophysiological signals. She has also done work on human motion analysis with wearable sensors and single rgb(d) camera.

Vacancies (Closing date - 24th of April):

We are looking for postdoctoral researchers (Grade 6/7) to make a leading contribution to an EPSRC project on ‘Privacy-Preserved Human Motion Analysis for Healthcare Applications’ working with Dr. Fani Deligianni. The aim is to develop machine learning models that preserve privacy of the patients as well as their social cycle while they enhance their ability to identify and quantify abnormalities. The candidate should have experience in developing advanced deep learning generative models. It is also desirable to have previous experience with privacy and leakage of deep learning models. The project is also linked to collaborative projects with the School of Psychology and Neuroscience as well as the QUEST project. Along with other colleagues we aim to develop transformative healthcare technologies to enable patients’ independence, improve healthcare quality and ensure privacy. The successful candidate will also be expected to work with PhD students, collaborators, clinical researches and NHS as appropriate. Furthermore, he/she should contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
