A professor at the University of New Mexico since 1999, M.S. Pattichis is currently the Director of Online Programs at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNM.
Professor M.S. Pattichis has made outstanding contributions to the development of explainable biomedical image analysis methods that have been employed in leading hospitals throughout the world. He has been awarded 10 patents, published 80+ journal papers (46 in IEEE), 25 book chapters, and 200 conference papers (most IEEE). He has received more than $15.9M in funding, primarily from NSF, AFRL, and NIH.
He is currently serving as a Guest Associate Editor for the special issue on "Large scale video analytics for clinical decision support," to be published by the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics and for the special issue on "Teaching and learning mathematics and computing in multilingual contexts," to be published by Teachers College Record.
He has served as a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions On Image Processing and a Senior Area Editor for IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, and a Guest Associate Editor for two additional special issues published in the IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, and another special issue published in Biomedical Signal Processing and Control.
In 2022 he was elected Fellow of the European Alliance of Medical and Biological Engineering and Science (EAMBES) for his contributions to biomedical image analysis.
At UNM, he is currently the director of ivPCL (pattichi@unm.edu, ORCID, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, LinkedIn). Optimization theory
