PhD Candidate Zeev Kalyuzhner Participated at the IMVC 2025 Conference

Earlier this month, Zeev Kalyuzhner of Prof. Ze’ev Zalevsky’s lab participated in IMVC 2025: Israel Machine Vision Conference, an Israeli conference on recent developments and discoveries in Machine Learning. Organized by Dr. Chen Sagiv’s SagivTech, the conference is considered Israel’s largest and best-known professional gathering in the field of Machine Learning, combining academia and industry. The conference has been taking place for the last 14 years, and this time it was held at Expo Tel Aviv.

Kalyuzhner, 33, married +3, is a post-graduate student of electric engineering, specializing in optics and AI. He researches sensing for purposes of monitoring brain and nerve activity using nano-optics and artificial intelligence – remotely, without physical contact. At the conference he presented a poster based on a chapter from the book, Leveraging Machine Learning for Advanced Biomedical Imaging: Insights from Speckle Pattern Analysis, which he co-edited with Prof. Zalevsky. The chapter proposes various applications of the Speckle technique and how they can be processed using AI, including remote sensing of brain and nerve activity, and detecting stimulation in different areas of the brain. The book was published by Springer Nature.

Says Kalyuzhner: “Response to the poster was positive, with plenty of interest from visitors and researchers in the field, particularly in regards to the non-invasive sensing technique and possible applications in advanced medical technologies.”
