Zachary Althof, fourth-year BME PhD candidate, has been at the forefront of biomedical imaging research at the University of Iowa since beginning of his undergraduate studies in biomedical engineering in 2016. As a Graduate Research Assistant in the Reinhardt Biomedical Imaging Lab, he has developed a deep learning method to quantify and visualize pulmonary inter-lobar fissure integrity using thoracic CT images. His research explores how fissure integrity relates to lung biomechanics and disease, particularly in COPD.
