About us ​はじめに

It is now believed that artificial intelligence (AI) would lead the world in the near future. Generating new models that enable better understanding of real-life problems and the development of AI-based solutions are expected to take over conventional methods. The main research of this laboratory is to investigate, analyze and understand different human biological features and develop new machine learning models for data acquisition, manipulation and interpretation. 
[Research Fields/Themes]
  • Medical image processing
  • Data analysis and pattern recognition
  • Machine learning applications​
近い将来、人工知能（AI）が世界をリードすると言われるようになった。現実の問題をよりよく理解するための新しいモデルを生成し、AIを用いた解決策を開発することは、従来の方法に取って代わるものと期待されている。​この研究室では、人間の様々な生物学的特徴を調査・分析・理解し、データ取得・操作・解釈のための新しい機械学習モデルを開発することを主な研究テーマとしています。
​
【研究分野・テーマ】
  • 医用画像処理

About Director 教員紹介

​ラシド イサム 教授
​Prof. Essam RASHED
After receiving Ph.D. (Eng.) from Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, I become a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow. I served as Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Computer Science at Suez Canal University, Egypt. From 2018, I become specially appointed Professor at Department of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology. In 2022, I become a Professor at the Graduate School of Information Science, University of Hyogo and become JST PRESTO Researcher (2023-2027).
​I am always passionate to study interactions between EM signals and biological tissues in different applications. With this wide scope, applications using pattern recognition and machine learning are always attractive to me.
筑波大学大学院システム情報工学研究科コンピューターサイエンス専攻修了。日本学術振興会外国人特別研究員の後、エジプトのSuez Canal 大学コンピューターサイエンス学科にて助教・准教授・教授を務めました。2018年より、名古屋工業大学電気・機械工学専攻にて特任教授を兼任、2022年より兵庫県立大学大学院情報科学研究科に教授です。2023~2027年JSTさきがけ研究員 (兼任)。
​医用画像処理技術に基づくアプリケーションにより、電波と生体組織の間の相互作用について研究することに情熱を注いでいます。また、パターン認識や機械学習を統合したアプリケーションの開発や、医用研究分野への応用は、私にとって魅力的な研究テーマです。

Partnership with industry
On May 7th, 2025, the Graduate School of Information Science signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rology for Medical Technology to initiate a strategic academic-industry partnership aimed at enhancing the global radiology ecosystem through collaborative research and development.
​
Our group is actively engaged in this collaboration to advance the development of AI tools for radiological diagnosis, facilitate knowledge exchange between industry and academia, and promote joint research and clinical validation.​
