Research Interests
Hamza’s main research interest encompasses neuroscience, brain reconstruction, machine learning and its applications to biomedical neuroimaging. His PhD project aims at developing a pipeline for super-resolution reconstruction of the fetal brain white matter from diffusion MRI data.
Short Bio
Hamza Kebiri received a bachelor and master degree in Communication Systems from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, and a master degree in Cognitive Science (Neuroinformatics & Neuroscience) from Osnabrück University, in Germany.
He has worked in a variety of machine learning projects including his EPFL master thesis in fraud detection on an online banking system, and a big data analysis of health risks from six hospitals.
In 2017, he joined the Connectomics department of the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt. Under the direction of Prof. Moritz Helmstaedter, he focused on the segmentation and reconstruction of multibeam scanning electron microscopy (mSEM) data using deep learning.
Since May 2019, he is pursuing a PhD thesis in the Life Science program of the Lausanne University under the supervision of Dr. Meritxell Bach Cuadra, supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project 182602. The objective is to reconstruct white matter fiber bundles of the in vivo — in utero fetal brain from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) data.
