Olivier Salvado

Dr Salvado graduated with a Master in Electrical Engineering from ESIEE Paris and University Paris XII, where he studied signal processing, control system, and artificial intelligence. He worked for several years designing industrial control systems applying advanced techniques to improve automated machine performance. Attracted by medical challenges, he then graduated in 2006 with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, specialty Medical Imaging, from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA. His research was on developing machine learning technologies to analyses MRI data. He joined the radiology department of the Cleveland University Hospitals, working on catheter-based MRI imaging, before moving to Australia as a research scientist for the CSIRO, focussing on image analysis. Dr Salvado is now a CSIRO Chief Research Scientist leading the AI for Missions initiative, a $25M program to develop next generation AI technology.
