Brief CV:

Prof Frangi is the Bicentennial Turing Chair in Computational Medicine at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK, with joint appointments at the Schools of Computer Science and Health Science. He is also the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, with a focus on Precision Computational Medicine for in silico trials of medical devices. He is the Director of the Christabel Pankhurst Institute for Health Technology Research and Innovation. He is an Alan Turing Institute Fellow. His research vision was recently awarded an ERC Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. 

He is a recipient of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Technical Achievement (2021) and Early Career (2006) Awards, the ICT Knowledge Transfer Prize (2008) and two Teaching Excellence Prizes (2008 and 2010) by the Social Council of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. He also received the UPF Medal (2011) for his service as Dean of the Escuela Politècnica Superior. He was awarded the ICREA-Academia Prize by the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) in 2008, a President's International Initiative Award in 2019 by the Chinese Academy of Science, and a Pengcheng Scholar Programme Distinguished Professor at Shenzhen University by the Shenzhen Education Bureau.

Prof Frangi has edited a textbook on Medical Image Analysis published in the MICCAI-Elsevier Book Series by Academic Press. 



Research Interests:

Professor Frangi's main research interests lie at the crossroads of medical image analysis and modelling with an emphasis on machine learning (phenomenological models) and computational physiology (mechanistic models). He is particularly interested in statistical methods applied to population imaging and in silico clinical trials. His highly interdisciplinary work has been translated into the areas of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and neurosciences.
