Stathis Hadjidemetriou received a B.Eng (Honors) in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in Montreal and an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in the City of New York. He received his Ph.D. in computer science also from Columbia University.  His thesis was in the fields of image analysis and computer vision.

As a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University he specialized in bio-medical imaging and image analysis. He continued the work on biomedical image analysis as research scientist at University Hospitals. He has worked on projects on biological image analysis of microscopy data at the subcellular as well as the cellular level. He has also worked on organ level medical imaging MRI data. The projects on MRI have mainly been for the brain for various neurological conditions. He has also been involved in projects extending the use of MRI for quantitative imaging of the body.

The methodologies he developed have been on the reconstruction and restoration of MRI data to remove imaging artifacts as well as on the analysis of the images obtained. The analysis has included segmentation and motion tracking both for microscopy and for organ level torso MRI video data. In MRI, he also developed methodologies for atlas computation from large numbers of clinical images.

He has published numerous research papers in scientific journals and presented his work in numerous scientific conferences. He serves as a reviewer for various international conferences and for international journals.

He has extensive teaching experience in his fields of study that include computer science, electrical engineering and biomedical engineering.
