Spotlight
There was never really any question that Dimitri Androutsos would one day become an engineer. His love of math and physics, along with an insatiable desire to understand how things work, drove him toward undergraduate studies in electrical engineering. It wasn鈥檛 until third year, however, that he found the specialization that would command his attention for the entirety of his career: image processing. 鈥淒igital photography was just coming out at that point, so to see that engineering could take an image, manipulate it and put effects on it coupled my love of photography with my love of math, science and programming.鈥�
Even as Androutsos pursued graduate studies, there was no telling just how pervasive image processing would become with the rise of Photoshop, Instagram, Netflix and even autonomous vehicles. Androutsos鈥檚 research has explored image manipulation in many forms, whether it鈥檚 converting 2D images to 3D, super resolution, image compression for storage and transmission purposes or even image analysis for biomedical applications, such as identifying tumor cells. 鈥淚magery is everywhere. Image processing, video processing and computer vision are behind the most prevalent technologies today. The field is important, cool, and relevant. That keeps me going."
