PhD, Medical Image Analysis Scientist, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK

Faculty Profile

Dr. Archontis Giannakidis is a Medical Image Analysis Scientist with the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) of Imperial College London, UK.

He received his BSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and his MSc (with distinction) in Modern Digital and Wireless Communications from the University of Leeds, UK. In 2010, he was awarded his PhD in Electronic Engineering (area: inverse problems/vector-field tomographic reconstruction) from the University of Surrey, UK.

Dr. Giannakidis has received postdoctoral training in research centres with high global impact (Imperial College London, Berkeley Lab, Johns Hopkins University). He has participated in numerous cutting-edge research projects funded by the European Union (EPSRC, BHF) and the United States of America (NIH, Department of Energy). He has been on the organisation committee for international conferences, and has experience supervising MSc and BSc students. He has won EPSRC scholarship awards due to achieving high academic performance, and is a regular reviewer for major international journals such as IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and IoP.

Dr. Giannakidis's research lies in the area of medical image analysis and machine learning for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He has published 30 academic publications.
