Christos Davatzikos, PhD is the Wallace T. Miller Sr. Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Center for AI and Data Science for Integrated Diagnostics (AI2D Center). Dr. Davatzikos holds a secondary appointment in Electrical and Systems Engineering at Penn, as well as at the Bioengineering and Applied Mathematics graduate groups. He obtained his undergraduate degree from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 1989; and his Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins in 1994 on a Fulbright scholarship. Dr. Davatzikos then joined the faculty in Radiology, and later in Computer Science, where he founded and directed the Neuroimaging Laboratory. In 2002, Dr. Davatzikos moved to Penn, where he founded and directed the section of Biomedical Image Analysis. His interests are in medical image analysis and machine learning. He oversees a diverse research program ranging from basic problems of imaging pattern analysis and machine learning, to a variety of clinical studies on aging and Alzheimer’s Disease, schizophrenia, brain cancer, and brain development. Dr. Davatzikos has served on a variety of scientific journal editorial boards and grant review committees. He is an IEEE fellow, and a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
