Mehdi Alilou

Research Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering
Alilou’s research focuses on applying computer vision and machine learning techniques to analyze chest CT scans automatically. The resulting technology aids radiologists and pathologists with automatic detection, quantification, diagnosis, and treatment response prediction of lung cancer and other lung diseases.
