Dr Al-Diri Bashir

Associate Professor and Programme Lead for MSc Computer Science, Lincoln School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology

Dr Al-Diri Bashir joined the Lincoln School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln in 2009. His main research is concerned with the development of computer vision algorithms to analyse retinal blood vessels for the characterization of diabetic retinopathy. Dr Al-Diri developed a robust fully automated system for retinal vascular segmentation and measurement, which provides a unique combination of good segmentation and superior measurement performance. It is thus uniquely well-suited to act as a base for research into the diagnosis of vascular diseases that cause measurable changes to the geometry of retinal vessels. Dr Al-Diri research includes computer vision, medical image analysis, automated surveillance, artificial intelligence, speech recognition, language corpus and lexical analysis, and applications of active contour models.
