Dorin Comaniciu (born 1964 in Romania) is a Romanian-American computer scientist, Vice President of Medical Imaging Technologies at Siemens Healthcare.

Research

Comaniciu is best known for his work in computer vision,[1][2] medical imaging[3][4] and machine learning.[5][6] His academic publications have 35,000 citations.[7]. As of 2017 he holds 219 US patents [8] and 474 international patent applications [9]. He joined Siemens in 1999 as a senior research scientist, with a focus on computer vision applications for automotive systems.[10] Since 2004 he has served in various research and leadership positions, directing technology development in diagnostic imaging[11][12][13][14] and image-guided surgery.[15][16] Most recently, his team's research is on artificial agents [17] [18] and hyper-realistic visualization [19]

Education

Comaniciu studied for a PhD in electronics and telecommunications at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, which was awarded in 1995 and supervised by Victor Neagoe. In 1999 he received a second PhD in electrical and computer engineering, with the thesis on robust statistics for computer vision, from Rutgers University under the supervision of Peter Meer. In 2011 he graduated the Advanced Management Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
