William F. Speier is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiological Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine . His work spans Medical Informatics , Biomedical Engineering , and Neurology , focusing on applying Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to medical imaging and patient monitoring systems. Speier's research emphasizes improving diagnostics for Thyroid Cancer via multimodal ultrasound and molecular testing, advancing Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for ALS patients, and optimizing Heart Failure remote monitoring through biometric data analysis. He leads the NIH-funded project Predicting Clinically Significant Thyroid Cancer using Ultrasound (R21EB030691), integrating AI into clinical workflows. His recent publications highlight trends in High-Frequency Oscillations for epilepsy, Gleason Grading in prostate cancer, and Language Models for BCI communication. Collaborations with co-authors like Corey Arnold and Hiroki Nariai underscore his interdisciplinary approach. Speier's work also addresses Diagnostic Imaging , Neural Signal Processing , and Health Technology accessibility. Grants and clinical trial integrations further demonstrate his commitment to translating AI into practical healthcare solutions. His methodologies include 3D ConvNets , Federated Learning , and Active Learning frameworks for histopathology and radiology.
