Biography

After her PhD in 2012, Lama Seoud completed a postdoctoral fellowship in industry at Diagnos Inc, which she later joined as a researcher. She worked on computer-aided diagnosis of retinal pathologies. In 2016, she joined the computer vision and computer graphics research team at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa. She worked for 3 years on the integration of deep learning with the acquisition and analysis of 3D data sequences, including human subjects in motion. Based on these experiences, her current research program at Polytechnique is in the areas of computer vision (capture and analysis of human pose and motion for medical, multimedia and industrial applications) and computational medical imaging (computer-aided diagnosis). Through her projects, she collaborates closely with clinicians (intensivists, pathologists, physiotherapists, surgeons and orthopedists), industrial partners and artists (circus and music).
