Jeremias Sulam appointed the William R. Brody Faculty Scholar

Jeremias Sulam, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has been appointed as the William R. Brody Faculty Scholar.

Established in 2008 by Robert Seder, university trustee, and Deborah L. Harmon in honor of former JHU President William R. Brody, the award supports promising young faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

Sulam’s research focuses on the foundations of machine learning and applications to biomedical imaging. He is interested in learning under parsimonious structures in data, robustness, and ethical implications of data-driven methods, as well as in the interpretability and auditing of the resulting models. His work is motivated by applications of diagnostic imaging in radiology, inverse problems, and biomarker discovery in neuroscience and digital pathology.

Sulam studied biomedical engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos in Argentina in 2013 and earned his PhD in computer science from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in 2018. He is the recipient of the Best Graduates Award of the Argentinean National Academy of Engineering and the Early CAREER award of the National Science Foundation.

Sulam is also affiliated with the Mathematical Institute for Data Science, the Center for Imaging Science, and the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute. He holds secondary appointments in the departments of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Computer Science and is a member of the Data Science and AI Institute.
