Rodrigo Berto
Biomedical Engineering MSc. StudentUniversity of Calgary (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)He has a B.Eng in Electronic Engineering from the Aeronautics Institute of Technology, Brazil (2019), where he graduated as first of his class with Magna Cum Laude Honors. He has industry experience working with Data Engineering and is currently working with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy preprocessing with Machine Learning.
Hanna Bugler
Biomedical Engineering PhD StudentUniversity of Calgary (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)She has a B.Eng with high distinction in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering from Carleton University, Canada (2021). She has experience working at Health Canada as an electrical engineering cooperative student. Her research is focused on improving Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) data quality with machine learning.
Roberto Souza
Assistant Professor, Electrical and Software Engineering Department University of Calgary (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)He has a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Pará (2012), an M.Sc. (2014) and PhD (2017), both in Computer Engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Before becoming an Assistant Professor, Roberto worked for three years as a postdoctoral scholar in the Radiology Department at the University of Calgary. Dr Souza has extensive expertise in image processing and machine learning. His research is currently focused on ML, MR, and open-science. Dr. Souza previously organized a similar challenge at the 2020 Medical Imaging with Deep Learning conference.
Ashley Harris
Associate Professor, Department of Radiology in the Cumming School of MedicineUniversity of Calgary (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)She has a B.Eng in Biological Engineering, a B.Sc in Biology and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. Before her faculty position at University of Calgary, she completed postdoctoral studies at Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA. She has a Canada Research Chair in MR Spectroscopy in Brain Injury. Her research program uses and develops advanced MR spectroscopy methods to examine the brain, both healthy development as well as clinical disorders.
