Name

Andras Lasso PhD, Associate Director (Engineering)

Short Biography

Andras Lasso graduated at the Budapest University of Technology, Hungary (MSc in Electrical Engineering, 2000; PhD, 2011). He joined GE Healthcare as a software engineer in 2000, was appointed Lead Engineer in 2003, and Senior Engineer in 2008. He developed various software components and test infrastructure for GE Innova interventional X-ray systems and GE Advantage Workstation and led development of advanced image visualization, quantification, real-time image fusion and guidance applications. He also participated in various research collaboration projects in medical image analysis, enhancement, segmentation, registration, and fusion. He joined the Perk Lab in 2009 as a Senior Engineer to work on image-guided intervention research and system development. In 2011 he was appointed to be Associate Director of the Perk Lab. His main interests are developing high-quality, reusable, open-source software components and using them to build systems for translational research and clinical use.
