Nicholas Otumi is a biomedical imaging researcher with a strong foundation in diagnostic imaging and deep learning. He holds a BSc in Diagnostic Imaging Technology from the University of Cape Coast (Ghana) and an MS in Diagnostic Imaging (Bioengineering & Biomedical Engineering) from the University of Rochester (USA), where his coursework included deep learning, inverse problems in imaging, clinical imaging, and signal processing. He has held research and technical roles at multiple institutions: as a remote Research Assistant at Indiana University working on pharmaceutical pricing and market analytics, and at the University of Rochester contributing to segmentation (with UNet-R) and image analysis in brain CT. Previously, as a Research and Teaching Assistant at UCC, he supported imaging equipment courses, data analysis, and undergraduate research. His research interests center on medical image analysis, especially applying deep learning to brain MRI and CT segmentation, classification of disease from imaging, and imaging in resource-constrained settings. He has several manuscripts under review or published, including a multicentre survey on advanced brain MRI in low-resource settings and case reports in radiology. He is a recipient of honors such as the Harry W. Fischer Research Funds (2025) and the HSEAS Dean’s Fellowship (2024) at Rochester, as well as campus leadership awards in Ghana. Nicholas is committed to advancing AI-driven neuroimaging and translational imaging research across low- and middle-income settings, aiming to bridge technology gaps and enhance equitable access to advanced diagnostic tools.
