Olivier Salvado received his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from ESIEE, Marne–la–Vallée France, and he graduated with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering (Medical Imaging) from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
He worked for seven years as a principal engineer for Voest Alpine International Inc. an international engineering company, in the field of signal processing and system control design. This work resulted in three patents. Before joining the e–Health Research Centre in 2007 as a Research Scientist, he was Instructor in Radiology at the University Hospitals of Cleveland where he was conducting research on neuroimaging and atherosclerosis diagnosis using intravascular MRI. He was also involved in image analysis projects using cryo–imaging and small animal molecular imaging.
Olivier is now leading the Biomedical Imaging team at the e–Health Research Center. This group conducts research projects on image analysis, especially Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), as well as surgical simulation. His research interests include molecular imaging, digital image processing, physics of MRI and PET, and neuroimaging. Olivier is Adjunct Associate Professor at the Information Technology and Electrical Engineering department of the University of Queensland, and he is an ad–hoc reviewer for several scientific journals and international conferences.
