Ali Gholipour is a Professor in the Department of Radiological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), Director of the Intelligent Medical Imaging laboratory, Scientific Director of MRI AI Applications at the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostic Medicine (CAIDM), and also a Visiting Professor (Associate Researcher) in the Computational Radiology Laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital. He received all his degrees in Electrical Engineering (PhD’08 at the University of Texas at Dallas, and MSc’03 and BSc’01 at the University of Tehran), is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and is serving on the editorial boards of Medical Image Analysis and IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging. His research interests lie in the broad areas of signals and systems and intelligent systems. Currently his research is focused on medical imaging and image analysis, specifically on the development of new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies. In this domain, he has developed techniques and tools for motion-robust MRI; fetal MRI; super-resolution MRI; brain MRI; diffusion-weighted MRI; functional MRI; and artifact reduction, image registration, segmentation, and analysis in MRI; and atlas construction. He has been principal investigator of multiple grants funded by the National Institutes of Health, and has received awards from the Thrasher Research Fund, the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center, the McKnight Foundation, the Fetal Health Foundation, NVIDIA corporation, and the Office of Faculty Development at Boston Children's Hospital.
