Professor
University Pierre and Marie Curie - La Sorbonne
 

Brief Biography:


RACOCEANU Daniel received M.Eng. degree in Mechatronics from the “Politehnica” University of Timisoara in 1992, M.Sc. degree in Automatics and Industrial Informatics from the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM), France in 1993, Ph.D. degree in 1997 and Habil-Dr. degree in 2006 in Control and Computer Sciences from the University of Besançon, France. Daniel Racoceanu was Project Manager at General Electric Energy Products - Europe, Belfort, France before joining, in 1999 a chair of Associate Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Besançon, France, where he coursed until 2005 in the field of artificial intelligence, computer vision, industrial informatics, automation, control science and production systems.

Professor at the University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) and Senior Research Fellow at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Daniel RACOCEANU is the Director (France) of Image & Pervasive Access Lab (IPAL), the International Joint Research Unit (UMI CNRS 2955) created in Singapore between the CNRS, the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) of the Singaporean Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the University Joseph Fourier of Grenoble (UJF), the University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris (UPMC) and the “Institut TELECOM”, France.

From 1999 to 2005, Daniel Racoceanu was with Institute FEMTO-ST (UMR CNRS 6174 – French National Research Center), Automatic Control and Micro-Mechatronic Systems Department (AS2M), Besançon, France. His researches concerned the Diagnosis/Prognosis using Artificial Intelligent Techniques (Dynamic Neural Networks; Fuzzy Logic, Neuro-Fuzzy Systems). During this period, he participated to the FP5 European Integrated Project of ITEA program (Information Technology for European Advancement) PROTEUS and the NEMOSYS (Naval E-Maintenance Oriented SYStem) project with DCNS – Direction des Constructions Navales Services, France.

Academic positions:


Professor at the University Pierre and Marie Curie - La Sorbonne, Paris, France

Senior Research Fellow at the French National Center for Scientific Research

 

Research interests:


Daniel Racoceanu’s actual researches in IPAL focus on Intelligent Diagnosis/Prognosis Assistance using Medical Image and Knowledge-Based Reasoning Systems, Content and Context Based Medical Image Retrieval and Medical Multimedia Fusion. He is the PI of MICO (Cognitive Microscopy) ANR TecSan project involving AGFA Healthcare, THALES, LIP6/UPMC, and the SME TRIBVN and collaborator to the A*STAR JCO (Joint Council Office) project (2009-2012) entitled An Intelligent Vision System for Quantitative Microscopy in Neural Stem Cells Progenitor Growth and Differentiation, in collaboration with I2R / A*STAR-SERC, the Bioinformatics Institute (BII) and the Institute of Medical Biology (IMB), A*STAR-BMRC. He was PI of ONCO-MEDIA (Ontology and COntext related MEdical image Distributed Intelligent Access) project (ICT – ASIA programme 2006-2010), and co-PI of MMedWeb (Multimedia Medical Conceptual Web for Intelligent Information Access) project (2007-2010), a SERC-A*STAR project between NUS, National University Hospital, National Healthcare Group and Singapore General Hospital Singapore, CNRS and I2R/A*STAR.
