Biography
Tom Vercauteren is Professor of Interventional Image Computing at King’s College London since 2018. He is also co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hypervision Surgical, a spin-out company focusing on intraoperative hyperspectral imaging. From 2018-2023, he held the Medtronic / Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Machine Learning for Computer-assisted Neurosurgery at King’s. From 2014 to 2018, he was Associate Professor at UCL where he acted as Deputy Director for the Wellcome / EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences (2017-18).
From 2004 to 2014, he worked for Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris where he led the research and development team designing image computing solutions for the company’s CE-marked and FDA-cleared optical biopsy device. His work is now used in hundreds of hospitals worldwide. He is a Columbia University and Ecole Polytechnique graduate and obtained his PhD from Inria in 2008. Tom is also an established open-source software supporter.
Tom Vercauteren's research focuses on translational medical image computing, machine learning and interventional imaging devices with a specific interest in their development for surgery and interventional sciences.
