Bruno Silva

  • Medical Image Processing
  • Deep Learning
  • Segmentation
  • Tracking
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Bruno Silva graduated in 2021 with an M.Sc. degree in Industrial Electronics and Computers Engineering by the University of Minho (UM, Portugal). His master’s thesis was related with the automatic quantification of Pectus Excavatum depression using medical images and artificial intelligence (AI), which led to the publication of 1 article in a peer-reviewed journal (IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics). In 2021, he joined the PhD programme in Health Sciences at the University of Minho (Portugal). Since 2019, Bruno Silva is a researcher at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), School of Medicine, UM. His work is mainly focused on the development of computer-assisted systems using medical imaging and AI to support clinicians. Current work involves creating software for tracking and segmenting anatomical landmarks in laparoscopic surgeries, providing surgeons with valuable feedback to enhance their capabilities and efficiency.
