Brief Curriculum & Bio



Elsa Angelini received a B.Sc. degree in 1996 from the Ecole Centrale de Nantes (Nantes, France) with a major in automation and signal processing. She joined the Biomedical Engineering Department of Columbia University in 1997, and received a M.Sc. degree in 1998 and a Ph.D in 2003. She performed her doctoral research in the Heffner Biomedical Imaging Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Laine and in collaboration with Dr. Homma and Dr. Holmes. She stayed at Columbia University as a post doctoral fellow until March 2004.

She joined the Department of Image-Data-Signal (IDS) at Telecom Paris, Institut Mines Telecom and Institut Polytechnique de Paris - in Paris - in 2004 where she was appointed assistant professor. In 2010, she spent a 5 months sabbatical as a Visiting Scientist in the Biomedical Imaging Group of the CSIRO-Australian e-Health Research Center, Brisbane, Australia. She passed her Habilitation a Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in 2011. She went on leave in 2012 for 9 years, first at Columbia University, and then at Imperial College London, in the Faculty of Medicine, to co-lead the ITMAT Data Science Group.

She is since 2023 Professor at Telecom Paris, in the IDS Department. She has co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications. She is affiliated with Columbia University as Adjunct Senior Research Scientist and co-director of the Heffner Biomedical Imaging Laboratory and with Imperial College London as Honorary Reader. She co-leads the BioImaging track of the BME-Paris Master Program.
Her research interests include:

  • Machine learning for medical and biological imaging applications.
  • Clinical applications related to multi-dimensional imaging modalities for denoising, enhancement and segmentation.
  • Image and signal processing, sparse decompositions, computer vision, computer graphics and scientific visualization.
  • Enhancement of image quality for different clinical modalities and diagnostic applications.
  • Quantification and phenotyping of anatomical structures and physiological functions with clinical associations.
  • Anatomical modeling.
