Siladitya Khan (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) was born and raised in Bengal, India. Siladitya received his undergraduate degree in Electronics & Instrumentation engineering from the West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, India, in 2016. He enrolled for his PH.D. in Biomedical engineering and Data Science with the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA.
He is currently advised by Professor Stephen Andrew McAleavey (Senior Member, IEEE) at the University of Rochester Medical Center, focused on developing novel, clinically applicable ultrasound imaging techniques to probe tissue biology. His current research interests include Signal, Image Processing, Predictive Maintenance, Applied Machine Learning for Healthcare and Process Improvement. This research project will enable collaboration with Professor Marvin Doyley, Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Dr. Akshaya Gupta from the Imaging Sciences department at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC). The fellowship award will provide financial support for research activities and facilitate professional development. It will complement Siladitya and Steve's earlier HSCCI grant (University of Rochester: Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation) in the field of developing Viscoelasticity Imaging. This advancement is particularly significant as it overcomes the traditional limitations of non-local estimation over homogeneous tissue. By leveraging the computational resources of the University of Rochester's High-Performance Computing nodes within the Center for Integrated Research Computing (CIRC), the project will enable local estimation of rheological properties over the scanned areas.
