Education and career

Syeda-Mahmood was home-schooled, and then skipped two grades after entering primary school in India. She earned a bachelor's degree in electronics and communication from Osmania University, and a master's degree in computer science from IIT Madras. [2] She went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for doctoral study, funded by an IBM graduate fellowship; her early projects there included a 1988 prototype robotic vacuum cleaner. [2] After completing her Ph.D. at MIT in 1993, under the supervision of Eric Grimson, [3] she worked for Xerox at their Webster Research Center, on content-based image retrieval, before moving to IBM in 1998. [4]

Recognition

Syeda-Mahmood was named as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2011 class of fellows, "for contributions to content-based image and video indexing and retrieval". [5] She is an IBM Fellow, elected in 2016, [2] and a member of the IBM Academy of Technology. [1] In 2020 she was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering College of Fellows, "for outstanding technical achievement and leadership in multimodal imaging decision support with lasting impact to academia/industry in healthcare AI".
