Seminar - Angshul Majumdar

Thursday, March 26, 2015 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Speaker

Angshul Majumdar, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Delhi, India

Topic

A unified framework from reconstruction to analysis for biomedical signal and image Processing

Abstract

The talk will be divided into three parts. The first part will highlight applications of CS invarious MRI scenarios like single channel static MRI, multi-echo MRI, parallel MRI and Dynamic MRI. The second part will introduce the problem of energy efficient biomedical signal acquisition for body area networks. The application of sparse and low-rank recovery techniques will be highlighted. The final part of the talk will discuss how recent techniques in machine learning can be leveraged to move from a purely 'recovery' based framework to a more holistic approach of signal recovery coupled with signal analysis. Examples will be shown for the biomedical signal analysis problem and realtime dynamic MRI reconstruction problem.
