Beatriz (“Bea”) Paniagua is an Assistant Director of Kitware’s Medical Computing Team, based in Carrboro, North Carolina. She leads large-scale research and development programs at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and scientific computing, guiding teams that design, build, and deliver software solutions used by researchers, clinicians, and industry partners worldwide.
Bea manages several commercial contracts as a program manager, overseeing the full life cycle from proposal development through closure. She directs cross-functional teams of engineers, clinicians, partners, and researchers to deliver complex biomedical software systems. She coordinates multi-year projects supported by public and private funding, ensuring on-time delivery, compliance with technical requirements, and stakeholder alignment. In day-to-day operations, she plans budgets, allocates resources, mitigates risks, and produces reports. She also supports the development of regulatory pathways for products resulting from these programs when appropriate.
At Kitware, Bea serves as Principal Investigator (PI) for several NIH-funded initiatives, including Slicer Shape Analysis Toolbox (SlicerSALT), Osteotomy Trainer, and Anesthesia Injection Simulator, developed in collaboration with academic and research partners. These initiatives have contributed to thriving developer ecosystems around Kitware’s open-source platforms, accelerating their adoption across the research community. She has also led subcontracts on other NIH-supported programs such as SlicerHeart, SlicerAutoscoper, and SlicerCMF, which extend the imaging analysis capabilities of 3DSlicer for cardiovascular, arthrokinematics, and craniofacial applications.
Bea’s leadership extends beyond projects. She contributes to Kitware’s strategic planning and business development, aligning proposal opportunities with company objectives and supporting recruiting efforts. She has served on the Board of Directors, the Onboarding Committee, and the Employee Ownership Committee, each focused on advancing Kitware’s culture and long-term success. In the broader community, she has organized conferences and workshops such as Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR), and American Society of Biomechanics (ASB). She has served as a reviewer for leading journals and NIH panels, and she has volunteered her time to initiatives supporting women and underserved populations in Computer Science.
Prior to joining Kitware, Bea was an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with joint appointments in Computer Science, Psychiatry, and Orthodontics. She has held research positions in Europe, Japan, and the United States, including a year long research internship at Siemens Corporate Research.
Bea earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science through the European Ph.D. program from Heriot-Watt University in the United Kingdom and the University of Extremadura in Spain.
