About

Overview

Alex Ter-Sarkisov is a member of CitAI research group at City University.

His recent work is on the segmentation of instances of lesions and lungs, and classification of chest CT scans of COVID-19 patients using deep learning models like Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN. He also works on Generative Adversarial Networks and Neural Style Transfer for the logos of heavy metal bands.

His academic background (PhD thesis) includes mathematical analysis of the runtime of Evolutionary Algorithms.
