Leila Muresan

Dr. Leila Muresan is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing and Information Science, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), and a member of the Biomedical Informatics Research Group and Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group. Her research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of artificial intelligence, signal processing, and computer vision to microscopy image analysis, with a strong emphasis on bioimage informatics and research software engineering.

• Education:
  • PhD in Engineering Sciences, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
  • BSc and MSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Her work spans computational microscopy, light-sheet imaging, and chromatin structure analysis, supported by grants such as the EPSRC-funded BioDAC project. She has held postdoctoral roles at IB-ENS, Paris, and CGM, Gif-sur-Yvette, and joined the Cambridge Advanced Imaging Centre in 2014 before transitioning to ARU in 2023.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to bioimage informatics, including spatially varying deconvolution techniques, chromatin loop analysis, and neural lamination mechanisms. These studies integrate advanced imaging with AI and machine learning.

• Scientific Awards:
  • Fellow of the EPSRC College

She supervises research in image analysis and artificial intelligence and serves on advisory boards for the UK Exascale Project Science and Industrial Advisory Board, Royal Microscopy Society, and Research Software Engineer Society. Her teaching includes Introduction to Programming and Principles of Data Mining and Machine Learning.
