Gabor Herman

Gabor T. Herman is a pioneer in the field of computed tomography,[1][2] an important medical diagnostic procedure. He is also author of books on digital geometry and digital topology,[3] 3D rendering (computer graphics) in medicine[4] and discrete tomography.[5][6] He has written well over 100 research articles, including several classic works in their fields. He is recognized internationally for his major contributions to image processing (see, e.g., Algebraic reconstruction technique) and its applications in various fields of science, medicine and engineering.

Herman earned his Ph.D. from the University of London in Mathematics. He was the leader of successful image processing groups at University at Buffalo and at the University of Pennsylvania and, now, at the CUNY Graduate Center. His research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since the mid seventies.
