Malte Hoffmann is a faculty member in Radiology at Harvard Medical School and affiliated faculty in
the Health Sciences and Technology Division at MIT. He received a Bachelor’s degree in physics from
the University of Paris XI, and a Master’s degree and PhD from the University of Cambridge, where
he specialized in correcting subject motion in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Dr. Hoffmann’s research focuses on algorithms for medical image analysis using artificial
intelligence (AI). It spans innovations in deep learning, computer vision, and MRI acquisition. He
is particularly interested in segmentation and registration: segmentation involves delineating
structures in an image, while registration spatially aligns images to one another. Ultimately, he
is passionate about leveraging these techniques to advance clinically impactful applications.
