She was a visiting scholar with the Imaging, Robotics, and Intelligent Systems Laboratory at The University of Tennessee from October 2004 to December 2008 to work on her PhD research, and subsequently was involved in program development activities. In September 2010, she joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a Postoctoral Reseach Associate to support various efforts related to applied signal processing, 2D and 3D image understanding, and high performance computing. Firstly, she worked at the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source performing quantitative analysis of neutron image data for various industrial and academic applications related to quality control, process monitoring, and to retrieve the structure of objects. Then, she joined the ORNL Biomedical Science & Engineering Center to develop on one hand image processing algorithms for eyegaze data analysis and on the other hand text processing techniques for social media data mining to correlate individuals' health history and their geographical exposure. Noteworthily she was part of the team that received a R&D 100 award for the developement of a personalized computer aid diagnostic system relying on eyegaze analysis for decision making. Since April 2014, she has been working for the Geographic Information Science & Technology group. Her research focuses on developing multispectral image processing algorithms for CPU and GPU platforms for high performance computing of satellite imagery.

    Doctor of Medicine Program 24 Doctor of Medicine Program Mission Statement and the Medical Curriculum The mission of the Duke University School of Medicine is: To prepare students for excellence by first assuring the demonstration of defined core competencies. To complement the core curriculum with educational opportunities and advice regarding career planning which facilitates students to diversify their careers, from the physician-scientist to the primary care physician. To develop leaders for the twenty-first century in the research, education, and clinical practice of medicine. To develop and support educational programs and select and size a student body such that every student participates in a quality and relevant educational experi- ence. Physicians are facing profound changes in the need for understanding health, dis- ease, and the delivery of medical care changes which shape the vision of the medical school. These changes include: a broader scientific base for medical practice; a national crisis in the cost of health care; an increased number of career options for physicians yet the need for more generalists; an emphasis on career-long learning in investigative and clinical medicine; the necessity that physicians work cooperatively and effectively as leaders among other health care professionals; and the emergence of ethical issues not heretofore encountered by physicians. Medical educators must prepare physicians to respond to these changes.The most successful medical schools will position their stu- dents to take the lead addressing national health needs. Duke University School of Med- icine is prepared to meet this challenge by educating outstanding practitioners, physician scientists, and leaders. Continuing at the forefront of medical education requires more than educating Duke students in basic science, clinical research, and clinical programs for meeting the health care needs of society.

Computer aided detection (CADe) systems can serve as a double reader to improve radiologist performance. Tomosynthesis is a limited-angle cone-beam x-ray imaging modality that is currently being investigated to overcome mammography’s limitations. CADe systems will play a crucial role to enhance workflow and performance for breast tomosynthesis. The purpose of this work was to develop unique CADe algorithms for breast tomosynthesis reconstructed volumes.
