We hold a number of public lectures each year in Computer Science. These fall into two categories - the Roundhouse Lecture Series, and a series of lectures given by speakers from industry. The nature of the lectures is to inform and engage those who work and study Computer Science, as well as those who have an interest in the discipline.
Professor Peter Cowling and Dr Paul Cairns
Department of Computer Science, University of York
Digital games are socially, culturally and economically important - bigger than film or music - with a UK industry valued at over £3 billion. The UK government and the games industry have over £30 million invested currently for research into games and digital creativity led by the University of York, in the NEMOG, IGGI and Digital Creativity Hub (DC Hub) projects.
We will talk about:
Professor Sir Michael Brady FRS, FMedSci, FREng
Professor of Oncological Imaging, University of Oxford
I present some of our experiences in developing image analysis systems designed for clinical applications from the Laboratory right through to clinical practice. These include breast cancer (mammographic density and CAD), image fusion (e.g. CT/MRI/PET), and fatty liver disease. The talk is aimed at a broad audience (Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Clinical Medicine) but will also provide a number of details that may interest researchers in image analysis. I also describe our recent work aimed at Cloud deployment of the software we have developed. The research draws upon the Oxford Cancer Imaging Centre, and my companies featured in this talk are Volpara, Mirada Medical, Perspectum Diagnostics, and ScreenPoint.
