Dr. Gurcan received his BSc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey and his MSc. Degree in Digital Systems Engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, England. He is the recipient of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Organization Award, Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award and National Cancer Institute’s caBIG Embodying the Vision Award. During the winters of 1996 and 1997 he was a visiting researcher at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. From 1999 to 2001, he was a postdoctoral research fellow and later a research investigator in the Department of Radiology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Prior to joining the Ohio State University in October 2005, he worked as a senior researcher and product director at a high-tech company, specializing in computer-aided detection and diagnosis of cancer from radiological images. Dr. Gurcan is a senior member of IEEE, SPIE and RSNA.

Research

Project Involvement

Imaging Informatics

Medical Informatics

Dr. Gurcan's research interests include image analysis and understanding, computer vision with applications to medicine. Over the last decade, his research contributions have concentrated on computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) of cancer. He has developed CAD systems for different organs such as breast, lung and colon and for different modalities such as mammography and CT. CAD development requires interdisciplinary research. Therefore, Dr. Gurcan's research experience covers a wide variety of interrelated fields such as multi-resolution image decomposition, adaptive filtering, statistical pattern recognition, neural networks, image and volume registration, morphological image processing, multi-dimensional optimization, image segmentation, and statistical signal processing.
