These professional service efforts are aimed to promote computational and medical imaging as disciplines within the field of signal processing. As an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, I managed the review and revision process for 20+ manuscripts per year, assigning and communicating with reviewers, providing recommendations to the editor-in-chief, and supporting authors' efforts to revise and resubmit papers for eventual publication. These efforts helped ensure the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging continues to attract top-quality scholarship and maintain its leadership in the field of medical imaging journals. As a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society technical committee on Computational Imaging, I worked with other early career and established researchers to promote computational imaging at signal processing conferences, recognize leaders in the field, and support publication of new advances in society periodicals. From 2020-2021, I chaired of the technical committee's Awards Subcommittee, where I coordinated the committee's efforts to identify and nominate outstanding candidates for society awards and other recognition. Since 2022, I serve on the technical committee's Advisory Board. In 2023, I began to serve the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing as an associate editor, where I expect to manage 20+ manuscripts per year in the field of image processing and analysis.
The UVA CHARGE initiative was supported by the NSF ADVANCE program to increase the participation of women as faculty in STEM and SBE fields at the University of Virginia. As a member of the implementation team, I helped lead multiple efforts including the 2015 redesign of the Faculty and Candidate Guide and the Portraiture Project in 2017, that resulted in wide-viewed online and gallery-based exhibits. The online exhibit, (Re)Imaging Women in STEM, features research highlights and narratives reflecting women's experiences working in these fields. We published an article describing and evaluating the portrait project; it can be viewed online at the ADVANCE Journal website.

ISBI 2018 was held in Washington, DC
In the year leading up to the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Imaging, in Washington, DC, I worked with co-chairs Bram van Ginneken and Adriënne Mendrik to solicit submissions for and select grand challenge competitions to accompany the conference. These challenges provide researchers and students from around the globe with unique opportunities to share novel solutions to pressing problems in biomedical image processing and analysis. I worked with challenge organizers to advertise their challenges on the ISBI 2018 website, to put together oral sessions at the start of the conference, and to review the results of the challenge competitions at a special session later on during the conference.
I also have been involved in other professional service, including:
Ad-hoc reviewer for NIH study section Imaging Technology Development (2020)
Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Elsevier), and Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
Organized session on "Medical Image Acquisition and Reconstruction" at the 2017 IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers
Organized session on "Phase Retrieval for Imaging: Theory and Methods" at the 2016 IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers
I was also involved in the following committees and initiatives at UVA:
Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Seminar Series - co-organizer for 2018-2019 (with Prof. Kyusang Lee)
Image Processing Seminar Series - organizer (2016-2017)
SEAS Website Redesign Selection Committee (2016-2017)
Electrical Engineering Graduate Admissions and Program Committee
