Heejong Kim

Benjamin Lee
Benjamin C. Lee is a Senior Research Associate in Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM). His current research in the SabLab involves developing machine learning algorithms for cardiovascular medical imaging in CT, Echo, ECG, and histopathology data for heart failure, heart transplantation, and coronary plaque characterization. Ben’s previous appointment at WCM was in the Dalio Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging working with CT and SPECT images. Prior to working at WCM, he was a research scientist in industry for over 10 years at INVIA Medical Imaging Solutions in Michigan researching advanced algorithms for the 4DM nuclear medicine (PET, SPECT) cardiac quantification software. His research interests also include biomedical image segmentation, motion correction, image coregistration, kinetic analysis, and inverse problems. He received both his Ph.D. and M.S. at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in Electrical Engineering specializing in image processing and image reconstruction and he received his B.S. from Cornell University.
