Andinet Enquobahrie is a research and development engineer at Kitware. He is
involved in development of image visualization and analysis tools for medical
applications. He is one of the developers of the Image Guided Surgery
Application (IGSTK) toolkit, a cross platform open source C++ software library
that provides basic components needed to develop image-guided surgery
applications.
Dr. Enquobahrie received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from
Cornell University. While at Cornell, as a member of the Vision and Image
Analysis (VIA) Group, he worked in the algorithm development of computer aided
diagnosis applications for lung cancer. His dissertation work focused on CT scan
based automated techniques for early lung cancer detection. The VIA group
provides technical support for IELCAP (International Early Lung Cancer Program)
, an international collaboration of institutions and experts on lung cancer
from around the world. In addition, he was the technical member of the LIDC
(Lung Imaging Database Consortium) research group that is a consortium of five
academic institutions working together to develop an image database for the
development and evaluation of CAD algorithms for detection of pulmonary
nodules in CT scans.
At Ohio State University, where he received his Masters degree, he was a member
of the Digital Photogrammetry Group, a world leader in cutting edge research in
image processing and computer vision techniques applied to photogrammetry
applications. He was involved in development of multisensor aerial triangulation
and automated road sign extraction packages for digital map production. Dr.
Enquobahrie received his BS degree in electrical engineering from Addis Ababa
University, Ethiopia and has worked in several organizations including
Afcor/IBM-Ethiopia and NCR-Ethiopia.
