Weimin Zhou, PhD

Dr. Zhou directs the Computational Imaging and Visual Intelligence Laboratory (CIVIL) and conducts research at the intersection of image science and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). His lab focuses on enhancing human and machine visual perception and developing advanced computational imaging methods to enable the objective assessment and optimization of image quality, with the aim of improving diagnostic accuracy and interpretive efficiency in medical imaging.

Research projects in CIVIL include deep generative models for medical image synthesis; AI/ML-established observer models for task-based image quality assessment; visual search and signal detection in medical images; and deep-learning-based image reconstruction for optimizing task-based image quality. Dr. Zhou has been active in publishing research articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, Medical Physics, Optics Express, the Journal of Biomedical Optics and the Journal of Medical Imaging.
