In 1990 Dr. Tu joined Sony Research in Tokyo Japan, where he developed a number of computer vision algorithms for man-machine interfaces. While at Oxford University, his research was devoted to the development of computer vision methods for the autumatic analysis of seismic imagery.
Dr. Al-Kofahi brings 15 years of experience in developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision solutions for a variety of healthcare and industrial applications. He received his Ph.D in Computer Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2009. During his PhD and industrial work prior to GE, he developed algorithms to analyze 2-D and 3-D biomedical images and integrated them into products used by clinical laboratory professionals and life scientists.
The future of aviation lies in disruption stemming from digitization. At GE, that future starts with a Digital Twin for every aircraft engine, tracking and understanding its operational effectiveness, health, and fleet role - from manufacturing to retirement. Dr. Paul Ardis leads the research portfolio to make this happen, working across capabilities and business units to make the most of GE's best scientists and engineers.
