Daigo Tanaka, PhD
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Carnegie Mellon University
I graduated from Department of Biomedical Engineering,
Carnegie Mellon University with a Ph.D.
Through my Ph.D. study I applied the knowledge and the techniques of computational geometry and numerical methods to aid surgery and clinical diagnosis.
I studied at
the Computer Integrated Engineering Laboratory (CIELab), and
Biothermal Technology Laboratory under the advisory of
Professor Kenji Shimada, and
Professor Yoed Rabin. After graduating, I switched application field from Biomedical Engineering to Geophysics; I am currently working at WesternGeco (wiki) - Schlumberger to research and develop system to visualize seimic data.
I was born and grew up in the city of Yokohama in Japan. I traveled to United Kingdom, Italy, China (including Hong Kong), France, United States, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and Germany.
I lived in the city of Pittsburgh of Pensylvania state of United States for 4 years and half during my Ph.D study, and now I am enjoying the new life in Houston, Texas.
In addition to Japanese and English, I speak a bit of Italian and Chinese.
While cherishing my Japanese heritage, I am always eager to learn from every culture I encountered, and I am blessed with so many friends with various backgrounds.
