Guido Gerig is the Director of UTAH Center for Neuroimage Analysis in Salt Lake City and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his Ph.D. in 1987 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Gerig joined the faculty of UNC-Chapel Hill as Taylor Grandy professor in August 1998, with a joint appointment in the Departments of Computer Science and Psychiatry. In 2008, he accepted a new faculty position at the School of Computing and Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) at the University of Utah, with adjunct appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Psychiatry. He is on the editorial board of the Elsevier journal MedIA (Medical Image Analysis).

Dr. Gerig began research in the area of medical image analysis in 1985 at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Since then, he has led a large number of national and international projects with close multidisciplinary collaboration between medicine, engineering, statistics, industry, and computer science. He supports a number of clinical neuroimaging projects with methodology for image processing, registration, atlas building, segmentation, shape analysis, and statistical analysis. Current key research topics are analysis and modeling of the early developing brain, longitudinal analysis of multi-shape complexes, and new methodologies for statistical analysis of white matter using diffusion tensor imaging. Method developments are driven by challenging clinical applications that include research in schizophrenia, autism, multiple sclerosis, infants at risk for mental illness, and aging. New tools and methods are open source and are made available to public.
