Meet Our Team
The RAIL group includes physicians, engineers, scientists and students from across Johns Hopkins University who are working to advance the field of artificial intelligence in imaging informatics.
LEADERSHIP
Dr. Haris Sair is Professor in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Department of Radiology and Radiological Science, and the Director of the Division of Neuroradiology. His areas of clinical expertise include functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) of the brain. Dr. Sair earned his M.D. from Duke University School of Medicine. He completed his residency at Temple University Medical Center and performed a fellowship in neuroradiology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA.
Dr. Craig Jones is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Faculty in the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare (Whiting School of Engineering). He has an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computing Science and a PhD in Physics (Medical Physics). He has over 25 years experience in medical image processing (primary focus in MRI), data fitting and data science. His current work is in artificial intelligence and neural network image processing of MRI, CT, OCT datasets (both 2D and 3D) with classification, regression and segmentation projects.
Member of SPIE
Member of SIIM
Mathias Unberath is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, affiliated with the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics and the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare. His research consolidates efforts in computer vision, medical physics, and medicine to develop surgeon-centric, end-to-end computer-assisted solutions for image-guided surgery.
Past Founding Directors
