Margrit Betke

Last updated

Margrit Betke was a German-American Professor of Computer Science at Boston University. [1] [2] She earned her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995 under the supervision of Ron Rivest. [3] Betke was designated a Senior Member of the ACM in October 2012. [4]

Betke made important contributions in computer vision, [5] medical image analysis, [6] human-computer interfaces, [7] and applications of machine learning. [8] She co-invented, with James Gips, the "Camera Mouse," an assistive technology used worldwide by children and adults with severe motion impairments. [9] [10] [11]  She co-developed the first patented algorithms for detecting and measuring pulmonary nodule growth in computed tomography. [12]

Earlier she held the position of Associate Editor, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI) [1] . A total of 18 students obtained PhDs under her guidance [1] .
