Anoush Najarian works at MathWorks as a performance engineer. Her job is to make MATLAB go fast. Among her many other interests (robotics, maker culture, Internet of Things, educational software, just to name a few) she\u00a0likes to tell the stories of the many fascinating and talented women engineers and scientists who use MathWorks products. Her interviews will appear here as an occasional series. This is the first. <\/em><\/p>\n

#shelovesmatlab: Beril Sirmacek<\/h2>\n

Interview by Anoush Najarian<\/em><\/p>\n

Today I\u2019d like to introduce you to Beril Sirmacek. We learned about Beril\u2019s work on Twitter as we were getting started with\u00a0#shelovesmatlab<\/a>,\u00a0a hashtag\u00a0that celebrates women engineers and scientists who\u00a0work with our tools.\u00a0Beril teaches and does research using Deep Learning with MATLAB\u00a0at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, and\u00a0is the owner of create4D and the farmAR app, an artist and a vegan!<\/p>\n

Here is one of your tweets that caught our attention.<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n

You shared that your students use Deep Learning with MATLAB for medical image processing. Where can we learn more about this work?<\/b><\/div>\n

One of my students is using MATLAB for training a deep learning\u00a0network from scratch. After segmenting liver and tumor in layers of MRI images, he bundles them together to generate a 3D liver and 3D tumor. This\u00a0helps doctors watch changes and plan surgeries.<\/p>\n

Another application where I now use MATLAB is to reconstruct 3D models of the diabetic feet,\u00a0also\u00a0to\u00a0help doctors; I’m working on adding texture using blood circulation information here.<\/p>\n
