Fernando Pérez-García (he/him)
Senior Researcher and Team Lead
Microsoft Research · Cambridge, UK
I am a senior researcher and team lead at Microsoft Research. My work within Microsoft Health Futures focuses on translating multimodal artificial intelligence research into clinical practice.
I hold a PhD in Medical Imaging from UCL and King's College London, where I developed data-driven computer vision methods for the treatment of epilepsy, from classification of seizure videos to segmentation of postoperative MRI scans. Prior to this, I was a research engineer at the Paris Brain Institute, where I worked on tools for surgical planning and assessment in Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
I am a strong supporter of open-source software. My framework TorchIO is used as a research tool at numerous hospitals and academic institutions worldwide. When not staring at a computer screen, I can be found playing football or trumpet.
