Recently nominated Associate Professor of Bioengineering in the School of Engineering (STI), Prof. Van De Ville is joining the CNP with his team of the laboratory of Medical Image Processing.

Dimitri Van De Ville is a specialist in medical imaging systems. His highly interdisciplinary research is directed at using non-invasive techniques to advance the scientific understanding of how the human brain functions. His findings could lead to the possibility of early detection of certain pathological developments in the brain. Dimitri Van De Ville will continue his internationally recognized scientific research within a joint laboratory at EPFL and Geneva University (Faculty of Medicine, Department of Radiology and Medical Informatics).

The Medical Image Processing Lab (MIP:Lab) pursues the development and integration of innovative data-processing tools at various stages of the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation pipeline of neuroimaging data, in particular, using (functional) magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, and optical techniques. Its goal is to obtain new insights into brain function & dysfunction by approaches that are based on modeling the brain as a network and as a dynamical system.
