Presentation of research activities
Henning Müller leads the MedGIFT group on medical multimodal data analysis. The group’s research focuses on building decision support tools using medical data in the forms of images, signals, texts and structured data. Using machine learning predictions, classifications and segmentations can be made in the data. The tools are used on data from radiology, ophthalmology and increasingly histopathology using strong computer infrastructures and mainly deep learning. Interpretability and explainability of the machine learning outcomes are another strong focus of the group.
Henning Müller
Prof. Henning Müller studied medical informatics at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) then worked for Daimler-Benz in Portland (USA). He dedicated the years from 1998 to 2002 to his PhD at the University of Geneva (Switzerland), interspersed with a research tenure at Monash University (Australia) in 2001. Since 2002, Henning has been working in the field of medical informatics at the Geneva University Hospitals, where he received his diploma in 2008. He was appointed full professor in 2014.
Since 2007, Henning has worked as a computer science professor at the HES-SO Valais-Wallis in Sierre, and has since 2011 been in charge of the eHealth unit in Sierre as well. He was also the coordinator of the Khresmoi project, scientific coordinator of the VISCERAL project, and initiator of the ImageCLEF benchmark. He has written over 400 scientific articles, sits on the editorial board of several journals, and acts as reviewer for a number of journals and funding agencies throughout the world.
In 2015 & 2016, Pr. Müller was invited as a Visiting Professor to the Boston Martinos Center (USA), which is part of Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), working on collaborative projects related to medical imaging and system evaluation, among others, within the Quantitative Imaging Network of the National Cancer Institutes.
