Dr. El-Baz earned his bachelor's and master degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1997 and 2001. He earned his doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Louisville in 2006. In 2009, Dr. El-Baz was named a Coulter Fellow for his contribution in the biomedical translational research. Dr El-Baz has 13 years of hands-on experience in the fields of bio-imaging modeling and non-invasive computer-assisted diagnosis systems. He has developed new techniques for the accurate identification of probability mixtures for segmenting multi-modal images, new probability models, and model-based algorithms for recognizing lung nodules and blood vessels in magnetic resonance and computer tomography imaging systems, as well as new registration techniques based on multiple second-order signal statistics, all of which have been reported at multiple international conferences and journal articles. His work related to novel image analysis techniques for autism, dyslexia, and lung cancer has earned multiple awards, including the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation Early Career Translational Research Award in Biomedical Engineering Phase I & Phase II, a Research Scholar Grant from the American Cancer Society (ACS), first place at the annual Research Louisville 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 meetings, and the "Best Paper Award in Medical Image Processing" from the prestigious ICGST International Conference on Graphics, Vision and Image Processing (GVIP-2005). He has been the PI of five research projects that are funded by the Coulter Foundation, PI of a research project funded by the American Cancer Society, and co-PI on two R01 projects awarded by the NIH. Based on these awards, he developed a new CAD system for early diagnosis of lung cancer. He has authored or coauthored more than 300 technical articles.
