Gizeaddis Simegn

Biography:

Dr. Gizeaddis Simegn holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Cape Town, where he developed motion- and shim-robust CEST MRI methods under the supervision of Prof. Frances Robertson, Prof. Andre Van der Kouwe, and Dr. Ali Alhamoud. He previously earned a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Jimma University and an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Addis Ababa University.
Following his Ph.D., he served as an associate professor at Jimma University, where he led AI-driven research in disease detection and supervised over 20 graduate students under his lab, "AI and Biomedical Imaging Research Unit (www.biomai.et)."  He secured several grants, including funding from Google for multiple research projects, primarily employing machine learning and deep learning techniques to detect various diseases such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, and heart disease.
He is currently an instructor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, working with Prof. Richard Edden on magnetic resonance spectroscopy, particularly developing motion- and frequency-corrected edited MRS sequences to study brain metabolites in early childhood.
