Debesh Jha, Ph.D.,

Senior Research Associate, Department of Radiology, Northwestern University

My core area of research is to develop fully automated artificial intelligence algorithms for Radiation oncology, Organs at risk, Dose prediction and Radiation therapy. In the past, I have developed algorithms for colonoscopy/endoscopy. One of our recent algorithms, ColonSegNet and data, Kvasir-SEG has been by NVIDIA Clara. I am very optimistic that the AI tool can act as a second pair of eyes for the radiologists/endoscopist providing them with the opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare and make better decisions.
