Bart M. ter Haar Romeny

Dive deeper into neurons and get to know the ‘neuro-mathematics’ intuition of how the brain and CNNs do a geometrical analysis, and how receptive fields and first layers are formed.

Prof. Bart M. ter Haar Romeny (1952) is emeritus professor in Biomedical Image Analysis at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. He obtained his MSc in Applied Physics from Delft University of Technology and PhD from Utrecht University. He worked his whole career on biologically inspired medical image analysis algorithms, especially for computer-aided diagnosis (cancer, heart, brain, diabetes), image guided neurosurgery and visualization of brain connectivity from MRI diffusion tensor imaging.

He initiated and leads the RetinaCheck project, a large international AI-based retinal image screening program for diabetes. He published over 250 papers (h-index: 45, > 14800 citations). He is President of the Dutch Society for Pattern Recognition and Image Processing and has been President of the Dutch Society for Biophysics & Biomedical Engineering and the Dutch Society of Clinical Physics. He is reviewer for many journals, conferences and science foundations, and organized several international Summer Schools. Prof. Romeny is IEEE EMBS Distinguished Lecturer, Senior Member of IEEE, Fellow of EAMBES, Board member of IAPR, and Honorary Chair Professor at NTUST, Taiwan.
