In 2007, with the aid of OSG, University of Chicago student Andrew Jamieson attended the International Summer School on Grid Computing in Sweden. His scientific background as a medical physicist researcher involves developing accurate computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) algorithms for breast mass lesions in X-ray mammography, ultrasound and MRI images. He and his colleagues want to use grid computing to push CAD and image analysis to a new level of exploratory power and scientific evaluation.
ISSGC’07 provided him the opportunity to meet and learn from a diverse and global set of intellects and opinions, experiences and perspectives. ISSGC incorporates students, investigators, enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world, who form a distributed and multi-platform network of nodes, separate yet linked by a common desire to achieve feats impossible to tackle alone.
