معرفی
Lawrence Carin is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Duke University, holding the James L. Meriam Distinguished Professorship. He previously served as Provost at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (2020-2023) and Department Chair of ECE at Duke (2011-2014). His research focuses on machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and their applications in medicine, security, and imaging. Carin earned his Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park (1985-1989).

His work spans ML foundations, medical diagnostics (e.g., thyroid cancer prediction via deep learning), and computer vision. He co-founded Signal Innovations Group (acquired by BAE Systems) and Infinia ML (acquired by Aspirion). Notable contributions include Bayesian methods for bias detection in LLMs, interpretable AI for medical imaging, and federated learning frameworks. Carin is an IEEE Fellow (2001) and has authored over 500 publications in top venues like IEEE Transactions, NeurIPS, and CVPR.
Key research trends in recent articles include medical image analysis (e.g., OCT for glaucoma, CT for lung abnormalities), NLP (bias mitigation, commonsense QA), and efficient ML models (sparse convolutions, contrastive learning). His labs collaborate across Duke’s engineering and medical schools, focusing on translational AI solutions. Current projects explore explainable AI for clinical decision-making and robust ML under limited data.
