Maciej ORKISZ

Maciej ORKISZ is a Professor at the Institute of Technology (IUT) of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, specializing in Mechanical Engineering and Production. With a career spanning over three decades, he has held academic roles at institutions including INSA Lyon (1992-2004) and INP Grenoble (1990-1992). His research focuses on medical imaging, particularly motion analysis in image sequences and 3D pulmonary/vascular image processing, with applications in ARDS, COPD, and cardiovascular diagnostics.

• Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches (2003), PhD in Automatics (1990), DEA in Signal Processing (1986), and Electronics Engineering (1985)
• Current responsibilities include co-leading the MYRIAD team at CREATIS lab and managing international academic collaborations (France-Colombia, France-Poland)

His work bridges biomedical engineering and computer science, emphasizing CT image analysis for lung recruitability assessment, carotid artery segmentation in ultrasound, and machine learning applications in vascular diagnostics. Key projects include the development of the CreaTools framework for medical imaging software and studies on ventilation-induced lung injury.

Scientific output includes over 40 publications (2010-2025) in areas like:

• ARDS and PEEP optimization via CT imaging
• Carotid artery wall motion analysis
• GAN-based ultrasound texture simulation
• Kinetic modeling of lung inflammation
• Automated vascular segmentation algorithms
