Elham Karimi

Welcome to my personal homepage

This is Elham Karimi. I am a research associate at McGill University working under the supervision of Professor Logan Walsh and Kaleem Siddiqi. Before joining McGill, I was a Master's student in Software Engineering at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) working under the supervision of Professor Catherine Laporte and Professor Lucie Ménard . I am a software engineer trained in the field of Artificial Intelligence, in particular, medical image processing and machine learning. I design and implement image segmentation pipelines for medical imaging projects.
