Prof. Russell H. Taylor has been an Associate Editor since 2011 and primarily oversees manuscript submissions in the areas relating to image registration, robot-assisted imaging, and computer-integrated interventions.

Prof. Taylor has over 40 years of professional experience in the fields of computer science, robotics, and computer-integrated interventional medicine. He received a Bachelor of Engineering Science degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1970 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1976. He joined IBM Research in 1976, where he developed the AML robot language and managed the Automation Technology Department and (later) the Computer-Assisted Surgery Group before moving in 1995 to Johns Hopkins, where he is the John C. Malone Professor of Computer Science with joint appointments in Mechanical Engineering, Radiology, and Surgery and is also Director of the Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (CISST ERC) and of the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). Dr. Taylor’s research interests include robotics, human-machine cooperative systems, medical imaging & modeling, and computer-integrated interventional systems. He is the author of over 500 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications and 91 patents, is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, of the IEEE, of the AIMBE, of the MICCAI Society, and of the Engineering School of the University of Tokyo. He is also a recipient of numerous awards; including the Maurice Müller Award for Excellence in Computer-Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery the IEEE Robotics Pioneer Award, the MICCAI Society Enduring Impact Award, the IEEE EMBS Technical Field Award, and the Honda Prize.

Prof. Taylor is a Life Fellow of IEEE and continues to be active in professional activities associated with IEEE and other societies. For example, in addition to service as a TMI Associate Editor, he is an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics and serves on 4 other editorial boards. He is also Program Co-Chair for the 2023 IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation and Co-General Chair for the 2023 Medical Image and Computer-Assisted Interventions conference.

Dr. Fan Lam has been an Associate Editor since 2018 and primarily oversees manuscript submissions in the areas of instrumentation, data acquisition, image reconstruction and image analysis related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy.

Dr. Lam has been working on developing MRI-based technologies for neuroimaging applications since he was doing a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). During that time, his worked on constrained image reconstruction from noisy and sparse data, quantitative MRI and MR spectroscopic imaging. He joined the Department of Bioengineering at UIUC as a tenure-track assistant professor in 2018. His current research focuses on developing advanced MRSI technologies for high-resolution molecular imaging of the brain, multimodal neuroimaging, and computational imaging using machine learning, as well as their application to study brain function at healthy and diseased states.

Dr. Lam is a recipient of the Junior Fellow Award from ISMRM 2017 (International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine), the Best Student Paper Award from ISBI 2015 (International Symposium of Biomedical Imaging), and the NSF CAREER and NIH-NIBIB Trailblazer Awards in 2020. He has been actively participating in IEEE society activities for more than 10 years, attending annual conferences such as ISBI and EBMC and serving as reviewers for other IEEE journals including IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, and Proceedings of the IEEE et al.
