Ge Wang, PhD wangg6@rpi.edu; https://www.linkedin.com/in/ge-wang-axis

Ge Wang is the Clark and Crossan Endowed Chair Professor and the Director of the Biomedical Imaging Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA. He published the first spiral/helical cone-beam/multi-slice CT paper in 1991 and has since then systematically contributed over 100 papers on theory, algorithms, artifact reduction, and biomedical applications in this area of CT research. Currently, over 100 million medical CT scans are carried out yearly with a majority in the spiral/helical cone-beam/multi-slice mode. Dr Wang’s group developed interior tomography theory and algorithms to solve the long-standing ‘interior problem’ for high-fidelity local reconstruction, establishing the feasibility of omni-tomography (‘all-in-one’) with simultaneous CT-MRI as an example. He initiated the area of bioluminescence tomography. He has produced over 480 journal publications, covering diverse imaging-related topics and receiving a high number of citations and academic awards. His results have been featured in Nature, Science, PNAS, and news media. In 2016, he published the first perspective on deep-learning-based tomographic imaging as a new direction of machine learning and a Nature Machine Intelligence paper on the superiority of deep learning over iterative reconstruction in collaboration with his colleagues. His team has been continuously well-funded by federal agencies and imaging companies. His interests include CT, MRI, optical tomography, multi-modality fusion, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. He is the lead Guest Editor for five IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging special issues, the founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Biomedical Imaging, a Board Member of IEEE Access, and an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging (TMI) (recognized as an ‘Outstanding Associate Editor’), Medical Physics, and Machine Learning Science and Technology. He is Fellow of IEEE, SPIE, OSA, AIMBE, AAPM, AAAS and NAI.
