About

Dimitrios Karkalousos completed his BSc in Information and Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Ioannina, Greece. He pursued a joint MSc in informatics, image synthesis, and graphics design from the University of West Attica, Greece, and the University of Limoges, France. For his Master’s thesis, titled “Optimizing a Recurrent Inference Machine for Accelerated MRI Reconstruction using Deep Learning”, he moved to the Netherlands and worked at the Spinoza Centre of Neuroimaging, Netherlands, under the supervision of Dr. Matthan Caan. In 2019, he joined the Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Max Welling and Dr. Matthan Caan, he worked with the AImsterdam team on the first fastMRI challenge, proposing the winning solution. Next, he started his Ph.D. at the Department of Biomedical Engineering & Physics, Amsterdam University Medical Center, Netherlands, under the supervision of Dr. Matthan Caan, Prof. Dr. Ivana Išgum, and Prof. Dr. Henk Marquering. His research focused on applying AI to accelerate multiple tasks in MRI, such as reconstruction, segmentation, and quantitative imaging. Following his Ph.D., he started working as a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Cardiovascular Lab of the qurAI group and the Department of Biomedical Engineering & Physics, Amsterdam University Medical Center, Netherlands, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ivana Išgum. His research aims to apply AI for the early detection of noncommunicable disease risk in people with breast cancer.
