Biography

Prof. Goksel received two BSc degrees in electrical engineering (2001) and in computer engineering/science (2002) from Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey. He received his MASc (2004) and PhD (2009) degrees in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. In 2014, he was appointed as a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Professor at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He then founded and has still been leading the Computer-assisted Applications in Medicine (CAiM) group. In 2020, he joined the Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University, Sweden, as an associate professor, and in 2024 he was appointed as a (full) professor of Computerised Image Processing.

Prof. Goksel has received the 2016 ETH Spark Award (for most promising invention of the year), the 2014 CTI Swiss MedTech Award, and the 2011 WAGS Innovation in Technology Award (for best dissertation in western North America). He supervised several master's and PhD students as well as postdoctoral fellows.

Research

Basic and applied research in the Computer-assisted Applications in Medicine research (CAiM) group, led by Orcun Göksel, involves data analysis and information extraction, on topics lying at the intersection of multiple disciplines: computer science, engineering, and medicine. With the involvement of diverse and cross-​disciplinary skill-​set, the group aims to devise novel imaging and image analysis techniques, and develop them for clinical translation. The group’s efforts push the boundaries of diagnostic and surgical procedures as well as minimally-​invasive interventions.

Research in CAiM is conducted in close collaboration with clinical as well as industrial partners, where the research results have a strong translational component, both clinically and commercially. To that end, CAiM aims to develop innovative diagnostic and interventional applications, focusing on data analysis from imaging to abstracting patient-​specific models and representations, and from there to optimal intervention planning and intra-​operative execution.
