  Dr. Nagaiah Chamakuri Faculty at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Thiruvananthapuram, India will give a talk on: "Challenges in Solving Large scale PDE-constrained Optimization" This talk presents a feasible study of optimal control techniques for cardiac defibrillation based on the bidomain-bath equations posed on a rabbit ventricle geometry. The bidomain model consists of a system of elliptic partial differential equations coupled with a non-linear parabolic equation of reaction-diffusion type, where a set

Michael Phelan Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart will give a talk on: "Interventional Lorentz Force-Based Actuation under Magnetic Resonance Imaging" Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a widely adopted technique for visualizing soft tissue for treating life-altering conditions such as cardiovascular disease or cancer. Intervening directly within MRI devices offers many advantages but is limited due to the lack of available tools and highly constraining environment of the MRI device. Lorentz force-based actuators

Klaus Maier-Hein Head of Division of Medical Image Computing Managing Director "Data Science and Digital Oncology" German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg will give a talk on: Despite its vast potential, the actual practice-changing clinical impact of machine learning in medical imaging has so far been rather modest. Why is that? The talk covers several major challenges that I consider essential in unlocking the full potential of machine learning in medical imaging, and I present current
