Amith J. Kamath
Yet another PhD student.
ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research
University of Bern
My name is Amith (meaning âinfiniteâ in Sanskrit) and I enjoy investigating problems in image analysis and building tools to solve them. I like mathematics as applied to gain a better understanding of what we see (naturally, or otherwise).
I am currently a doctoral student with Prof. Mauricio Reyes in the Medical Image Analysis lab, at the ARTORG Center, learning more about pixel-level segmentation using Deep Learning models and itsâ robustness in clinical settings as applied to radiotherapy planning. Earlier, I learnt vision and robotics at Georgia Tech remotely, and wrote a mastersâ dissertation at Minnesota, focusing on reducing MRI acquisition times while maintaining accurate orientation measurement of white matter fibers in our brains.
Along the way, I wrote code for image/vision at the MathWorks, built technical content for undergraduate courses, ran interactive workshops/seminars across India, all in the broad areas of computer science, biomedical engineering, and mathematics.
Here is a more detailed CV. I am grateful to call Bern, Bengaluru, Boston, Minneapolis, and Mangalore as home at various points in time.
