Satish E. Viswanath

Satish E. Viswanath is an Associate Professor at Case Western Reserve University, holding joint appointments in the Case School of Engineering and School of Medicine. He leads research in AI-driven medical imaging and radiomics, focusing on gastrointestinal cancers and digestive diseases. His work integrates imaging, pathology, and molecular data to develop predictive models for treatment response and disease progression. Viswanath has authored over 50 peer-reviewed papers, 100 conference contributions, and holds 10 patents. He serves on editorial boards for medical imaging journals and holds senior memberships in IEEE, SPIE, and the National Academy of Inventors.

Education: PhD in Biomedical Engineering (Rutgers University, 2012), MSc in Electronics and Electrical Engineering (University of Aberdeen, 2005), BE in Electronics and Instrumentation (University of Mumbai, 2004).

Research Interests: Radiomics, AI in oncology, cross-modal data fusion, and translational imaging tools for clinical decision support. His lab develops AI tools for imaging-based biomarkers in colorectal, renal, and prostate cancers, with applications in treatment planning and response monitoring.

Awards: 2023 SIIM Imaging Informatics Innovator Award, 2023 Fulbright Specialist Award, 2022 SPIE Best Paper Award, and NIH/DoD grants since 2016. Leadership roles include co-directing the Center for AI Enabling Discovery in Disease Biology (AID2B).

Key Projects: Radiomic models for Crohn’s disease fibrosis/inflammation, MRI-based response assessment in rectal cancer, and AI-driven renal imaging in pediatric hydronephrosis.
