About us EMBS GOLD Representative Matthias Reumann I was born in Frankfurt/Main, Germany in 1978 and started studying Electronics at the University of Southampton, UK. My course was an integrated European course in Electronics which lead me to the Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Germany, in my fourth and the ESIEE (École Suprieure d'Ingénieurs en Électronique et Électrotechnique) in Paris, France, in my fifth year. As my undergraduate degree I received a Masters of Engineering in Electronics with the Tripartite Diploma in 2003. During my studies in Karlsruhe I was fascinated by medical imaging and image processing. I decided to apply for a PhD position at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH). My PhD supervisor, Olaf Dössel, suggested that I should look into clinical applications of cardiac models, which I ultimately did. I managed to complete and defend my PhD thesis in February 2007. Having the desire to go into industry but not giving up research, I managed to receive an offer for a Post-Doctoral position in the Functional Genomics and Systems Biology Group of the Computational Biology Center at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, USA. I joined IBM Research in June 2007 where I still work today. My primary research interests remain clinical applications of cardiac models to improve diagnosis and therapy planning. The complexity of cardiac models requires large computer resources for a detailed multi-physical, multi-scale heart model. At the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center I am working on high performance computers to enable fast cardiac simulations. I am very much looking forward to the challenges ahead and hope you will embrace the opportunities GOLD and EMBS offer. Please feel free to contact me anytime (mreumann@ieee.org) if you have questions concerning GOLD and our activities in the EMBS, if you have ideas and suggestions what you would like GOLD to do for you and if you would like to get involved as a volunteer. EMBS GOLD Committee Members We currently have three EMBS GOLD committee members with Jaydrath Butala in Canada, Erwin Saavedra in Columbia and Nguyen Linh-Trung in Vietnam. We are still looking for committee members from all regions to take up responsibilities and organize events to bring more value to all EMBS GOLD members. |
