Dr. Noël has been an Associate Editor since 2019 and primarily oversees manuscript submissions in the areas of dual-energy CT, photon-counting CT, phase-contrast and darkfield x-ray imaging, and image formation in CT.

Dr. Noël earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences in Giessen, Germany. While conducting research in the area of interventional x-ray imaging at the Toshiba Stroke Research Center (Buffalo, NY), he received a Master's Degree in Computer Science. In 2009, he finalized his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a focus on advanced 3-D reconstruction algorithms for neuro-interventional applications. Subsequently, he joined the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the Technical University of Munich and established the Laboratory for Advanced Computed Tomography Imaging. He then went on to become Assistant Professor of Medical Physics and department­-wide director of CT research.

In 2018, Dr. Noël joined the Basic Research Division at the Department of Radiology of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania as Assistant Professor of Radiology and Director of Computed Tomography Research. His primary research interests currently include spectral imaging with photon-counting detectors, advanced x-ray tube concepts, phase-contrast and darkfield imaging, reconstruction approaches, and the clinical translation of advanced technologies. His work has found application in oncology, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis screening. Dr. Noël's publication record includes not only more than 145 peer-reviewed publications in international journals, but also a patent portfolio in the areas of x-ray and CT imaging. He has been named to several editorial boards (incl IEEE TMI) and is a proud member of the IEEE.

Dr. Chen has been an Associate Editor since 2017 and primary oversees manuscript submission in area of medical image segmentation, localization, and registration.

Dr. Chen has been working on image-guided interventional medicine since 2007 when he completed his Ph.D. at Queen's University (Canada). During that time, his research was focused on computer-assisted orthopaedics surgery. More recently, his research interest has been focused on intelligence-augmented medical ultrasound and applying them to minimally-invasive surgeries. His accomplishment is perhaps best represented by numerous book chapters he authored on the topic of surgical metrology and mixed-reality systems for image-guided surgeries. Since 2019, he has been a Scientist of Robarts Research Institute at Western University, Canada.

Dr. Chen has been a proud member of the IEEE throughout his career. He is currently serving, or has served, on program committees for Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI), the International Conference on Information Processing in Computer Assisted Intervention (IPCAI), and SPIE Medical Imaging. He is currently serving as an Guest Editor for Journal of Imaging on the Special Issue "The Application of Imaging Technology in Medical Intervention and Surgery". He will be the conference co-chair of the Augmented Environments for Computer Assisted Interventions (AE-CAI) in 2021.
