Arvid LUNDERVOLD

Arvid Lundervold has a BSc in mathematics and philosophy from the University of Oslo (1975) and a medical degree (MD) from the same university (1982). While in Oslo he also worked with experimental epilepsy (the hippocampal slice preparation) at the Institute of Neurophysiology and at the National Hospital. He obtained his PhD (“Multispectral Analysis, Classification and Quantification in Medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging”) at the University of Bergen in 1995. He his currently a Professor in medical information technology at the University of Bergen, Department of Biomedicine, and head of the Neuroinformatics and Image Analysis Laboratory in the Neuroscience Research group . Lundervold is also affiliated with the Molecular Imaging Center (http://www.uib.no/med/mic), the MedViz consortium (http://medviz.uib.no), the Bergen Image Processing group (http://math.uib.no/BBG/BBG), and the Bergen fMRI group (http://fmri.uib.no) headed by Prof. Kenneth Hugdahl, University of Bergen, and holds an adjunct position at the Department of Radiology, Haukeland University Hospital. Lundervold has published more than 100 papers and conference reports related to medical image analysis, pattern recognition, and neuroinformatics. He has supervised or co-supervised more than twenty Master’s and PhD students with their basic training from mathematics, computer science, medicine, or physiology. Current research interests are in the fields of image processing and pattern recognition, functional imaging, image registration, quantification and visualization, and mathematical modeling. Together with colleagues at the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics and Technology he is also in the process of launching a new cross-disciplinary Master’s program in Biomedical Image Science at the University of Bergen. Lundervold has been an MC and WG member of the COST B11 concerted action (“Quantitation of Magnetic Resonance Image Texture”) and the COST B21 ( “Physiological Modelling of MR Image Formation”), and has been grant reviewer for the European Science Foundation, the Welcome Trust Joint Infrastructure Fund, and NATO Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division. He has been on the Editorial board of “Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics” since 1997. Lundervold is member of the Norwegian Medical Association, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Mathematical Association of America.
