Dr. Omar Al-Kadi
I am an associate professor at the University of Jordan (Amman, Jordan), and also a chartered engineer and a senior member of JEA, IEEE, and EA. Previously I was a visiting professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford (Oxford, UK). I was also a visiting researcher at the Biomedical Imaging group within the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing at the University of Surrey (Guildford, UK).
I am interested in developing novel approaches in image processing and analysis, such as texture analysis, image classification and segmentation, with a particular interest in medical imaging. I aspire to contribute to the global research effort for promoting more effective approaches in healthcare through developing intelligent techniques for early disease diagnosis and improving person’s health and well-being.
