Alison Noble obtained her doctoral degree in computer vision from the University of Oxford in 1989. She subsequently worked as a research scientist at GE Corporate Research and Development Center for five years. In 1995 she was appointed University Lecturer Department of Engineering Science in the University of Oxford, where she became a professor in 2002. From 2012-2016 she was the Director of the Oxford institute of Biomedical Engineering. As of 2017, she is the Senior Scientific Advisor of Intelligent Ultrasound Limited, an Oxford University spin-off in medical imaging, which she cofounded. Professor Noble has made significant contributions to medical image computing, where her research interests combine knowledge of medical imaging and computational science to support decision-making in clinical medicine. Her research activities focus on image analysis in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, women’s health and microscopy. She has made major contributions to methodology development of ultrasound image analysis, for example in fusion echocardiography, multi-modality cardiac image analysis, elasticity and slip imaging for breast cancer diagnosis, and fetal ultrasound image analysis. In 2013, Alison Noble was appointed Order of the British Empire for her services to Science and Engineering. She was the first recipient of the Laura Bassi Award of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2015 and she was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society in 2017. Alison Noble inspires the next generation of biomedical scientists and engineers by combining her academic and industrial network and experience to translate new engineering methodologies to clinical practice.
