Igor Vidic

Igor Vidic has been working in the field of medical imaging and machine learning since 2012. In 2012, they worked as a Research Assistant at the Institute of Physics Belgrade, where they analyzed data obtained at the ATLAS detector in CERN, programmed in C/C++, and did high-performance computing (PROOF) and Linux administration. In 2014, they began their PhD Candidate role at NTNU, where they developed a new, potentially clinical, diffusion MR sequence for breast cancer imaging and established an image preprocessing pipeline (Matlab) and developed analysis software (Matlab). Igor also conducted analysis and machine learning for data and advised collaborators (SPSS and Python (numpy, scikit-learn, tensorflow)). In 2018, they took on roles as a Machine Learning Engineer at Elliptic Labs and a Computer Vision Engineer at OptoScale. At Elliptic Labs, they contributed to the development of a machine learning based proximity sensor for mobile phones using ultrasound and managed proximity and gesture/approach projects and performed statistical analysis. At OptoScale, they played a key role in a project optimizing fish weight calculation and introducing machine learning into the company's pipeline as it developed a stereo vision camera for estimating the fish weight. In 2020, they joined Cortechs.ai as an Imaging Scientist, where they charted a successful course for the translation of research into product, including the development of new (DW) MRI and AI models and the creation of two FDA 510k cleared products while collaborating with three team members. Igor also spearheaded the development of a glioma segmentation deep learning model (topping competition scores for pre-op cases and introducing post-op) and developed a model for prostate MRI segmentation (CNN, pytorch) and preprocess pipelines of the medical imaging data (python).

Igor Vidic has a diverse educational background. Igor began their studies in 1998 at the Mathematical Grammar School, where they studied Mathematics. In 2002, they graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical/Medical Engineering. Igor then went on to pursue a Master's Degree in Computer Science at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, which they completed in 2012. Finally, Igor Vidic completed their Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2019.
