Sandro Queirós (SQ) graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2013 by the University of Minho (Portugal). In 2018, he completed a joint Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering by the University of Minho (Portugal) and in Biomedical Sciences by KU Leuven (Belgium). Since 2018, SQ is a postdoc researcher at ICVS, having been granted an FCT-funded junior post-doc position in 2020.
Throughout his research career, Sandro has been mainly interested in the development of novel medical imaging processing solutions to help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Specifically, his work has been focused primarily on cardiovascular diseases – the leading cause of death in the world. He has been the leading developer of novel image processing methodologies for cardiac function quantification, as well as novel technological solutions for preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative evaluation of transcatheter heart interventions. More recently, his work aims at developing novel artificial intelligent solutions for automatic medical training and diagnosis in Focused Cardiac Ultrasound.
Overall, SQ (co-)authored 33 articles in peer-reviewed journals (11 as first/last author), 32 full proceedings in international conferences and 17 conference abstracts, totaling an accumulated impact factor of 147.38 (average IF = 4.5), >900 citations and an h-index of 17. His research outputs have also led to 1 Portuguese invention patent, 3 provisional patents and the commercial licensing of an image tracking software. SQ has also (co-)supervised the thesis of 3 Ph.D. (ongoing), 7 M.Sc. (4 ongoing) and 6 B.Sc. students.
