Daniela Rus is a pioneering roboticist and a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. She is the director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a MacArthur Fellow.
When MIT professor and now Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) member Peter Shor first demonstrated the potential of quantum computers to solve problems faster than classical ones, he inspired scientists to imagine countless possibilities for the emerging technology. Thirty years later, though, the quantum edge remains a peak not yet reached.
In biomedicine, segmentation involves annotating pixels from an important structure in a medical image, like an organ or cell. Artificial intelligence models can help clinicians by highlighting pixels that may show signs of a certain disease or anomaly.
