Dr. Catherine Shi as an Honorary Senior Research Fellow and Principal Investigator (Artificial Intelligence in Neuroimaging Analysis) at Mātai. Her research applies artificial intelligence and deep learning to the classification and identification of brain diseases, a critical area for advancing clinical neuroimaging and neuroscience.
 
Previously, Dr. Shi served as an Associate Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. There, she developed a significant career in medical imaging informatics, focusing on generating, disseminating, and translating knowledge into clinical neuroimaging practices, especially in neurodegenerative diseases.
 
Dr. Shi founded a startup focusing on brain image analysis for diagnosing neurological disease, and won various national and international awards, which developed tools used for clinical diagnosis by clinicians, and which is currently being used for research purposes at Mātai.
 
Dr. Shi is currently working on projects to validate the reproducibility of image analysis techniques. This work is important for ensuring these methods are reliable for both clinical applications and research, paving the way for their widespread use in medical diagnostics.
