About the Speaker

Mihail Popescu, PhD, researches artificial intelligence including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and large language models (LLMs) as well as biomedical intelligent monitoring systems and eldercare technologies. His current research focuses on developing decision support systems for eldercare and chronic disease management. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure or depression decrease the quality of life and increase the risk of re-hospitalization. Dr. Popescu is currently investigating new technologies for eldercare such as new sensors (radar, infrared and depth cameras), new monitoring technologies and new artificial intelligence algorithms for early illness recognition and aging in place. Dr. Popescu is developing knowledge extraction and representation methodologies using large language models to address information explosion and personalized medicine.

 

About the Seminar Series

The goal of the NextGen Precision Health & Ellis Fischel Cancer Center Science Seminar is to highlight transdisciplinary precision research taking place in the cancer field, provide opportunities for collaboration among researchers to build their own research efforts and promote clinical/researcher activity across the University of Missouri System and our partners.
