Invited Keynote at the First Arab Science Symposium in Hannover, Germany

I am deeply grateful to the organizers of this symposium for bringing together Syrian and Arab scholars in such a meaningful way. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to present on the topic of collective intelligence, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary research in shaping a better future. Events like these foster collaboration and inspire innovative solutions that transcend boundaries, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Participate at the Helmholtz Annual Meeting 2024 in Berlin

I'm truly honored and excited to be invited to participate in the Helmholtz Annual Meeting 2024. I was particularly inspired by the insightful talk on synaptic transmission by Nobel laureate and Stanford Professor Thomas C. Südhof. His groundbreaking work continues to shape our understanding of neuroscience and opens new doors for innovation in the field. Additionally, the panel discussion led by BMBF Minister Ms. Bettina Stark-Watzinger was highly thought-provoking, especially her emphasis on fostering research and development in Germany. These sessions highlight the critical role of science and policy in shaping our future.

Participate at the DAAD PRIME Alumni Seminar

I was fortunate enough to attend and participate at the DAAD PRIME Alumni Seminar where I had the chance to meet and re-connect with PRIME fellows and a couple of colleagues! We exchanged career paths and trajectories and heard several success stories in both academia and industries.

Invited Talk at North American Imaging in MS Cooperative, USA

It is a pleasure to accept the invitation to deliver a talk at the The Artificial Intelligence and Machine-Learning (AIMS) working group of the North American Imaging in MS (NAIMS) Cooperative. I'll present our Nature Machine Intelligence Paper on anomaly detection in MR Brain Imaging which includes MS Lesions.

MA Thesis: Development of a Machine Learning Algorithm for Histopathological Classification of Conjunctival Melanocytic Intraepithelial Lesions -- Not available

Abstract. Conjunctival Melanocytic Intraepithelial Lesions (CMIL) are a significant precursor to conjunctival melanoma, a rare but potentially fatal ocular cancer. The histopathological classification of CMIL is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Call for Application for DAAD AInet Fellowship

We are excited to announce that Albarqouni Lab is proud to be one of the host institutions for the prestigious DAAD AInet Fellowship, which is awarded twice a year to outstanding international early-career researchers in artificial intelligence.

MA Thesis: Investigating Bias in AI Algorithms for Breast Cancer Detection from Mammography Imaging: A Focus on Generalization to Unseen Populations

Abstract. Breast density is a critical factor in breast cancer risk and detection, influencing the effectiveness of mammography. Higher breast density, characterized by a greater proportion of fibroglandular tissue relative to fatty tissue, is associated with a four- to sixfold increase in breast cancer risk.

MA Thesis: Deep Learning for Brain MRI Image Quality Transfer -- Not available

Abstract. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in modern diagnostics, offering detailed, non-invasive insights into human anatomy [1-2]. High-field MRI (HF-MRI) systems, which operate at higher magnetic field strengths, provide superior image resolution and contrast compared to low-field MRI (LF-MRI) systems [3-4].
