Research
Dr. Viswanath's research focuses on developing the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, specifically new image analytics, radiomics, pathomics and machine and deep learning methods. These approaches are applied to problems in computer-aided diagnosis and detection, disease characterization and quantitative evaluation of treatment response across adult and pediatric conditions.
His lab has been continuously funded since 2016 through the Department of Defense’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs and the National Institutes of Health, including the National Cancer Institute, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Nursing Research and National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, as well as the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
Publications
He has authored more than 55 peer-reviewed journal publications, more than 120 conference papers and abstracts, and one book chapter, and has delivered more than 90 invited talks and panel discussions in the United States and abroad. He holds 10 issued patents in medical image analysis, radiomics, computer-aided diagnosis and pattern recognition. He serves as an associate editor or editorial board member for nine leading international peer-reviewed journals, as a program committee member or area chair for three major medical imaging conferences, and has been elected a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
Recognition for Dr. Viswanath's work includes the Fulbright Specialist Award, in addition to multiple awards from Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, SPIE and Crain's Cleveland Business.
