MICCAI 2013 Young Scientist Award

The Young Scientist Awards are prizes awarded to first authors of high quality MICCAI papers. The nominees had to be full-time student at a recognized university or have been a student at most two years before the paper submission deadline. The Young Scientist Awards were coordinated by Sebastien Ourselin, University College London. An award committee composed of 6 members.

- 29 papers with first author a graduate student or early career scientist, including every eligible oral presentation and every other papers with the highest weighted average reviewing score.
- Award Committee voted on selecting the top papers by majority voting.
- Top 16 papers had at least 3 votes.
- Award Committee voted on ranking the Top 16 papers during the conference including the presentation (oral or poster).
- Committee selected 5 Honorable Mentions and 5 MICCAI Young Scientists Awards.

The 5 awardees are :

• Juliane Dinse for the paper entitled :" Impressive effort to connect micro and meso imaging scales and develop models of signal generation based on microstructural data with a large potential impact in neuroscience", authored by Juliane Dinse, Miriam Waehnert, Christine Tardif, Andreas Schäfer, Stefan Geyer, Robert Turner and Pierre-Louis Bazin
• Darko Zikik for the paper entitled :" An elegant, scalable, and computationally efficient solution for multi-atlas-based segmentation with important implications for large-scale data analysis", authored by Darko Zikik, Ben Glocker and Antonio Criminisi
• Bartlomiej W. Papiez for the paper entitled :" A surprisingly simple and efficient implicit model of discontinuities to allow sliding motion in diffeomorphic registration", authored by Bartlomiej W. Papiez, Mattias Paul Heinrich, Laurent Risser and Julia A. Schnabel
• Oliver Zettinig for the paper entitled :" Towards patient-specific models of cardiac electrophysiology thanks to a clever personalization of a concise model from clinical ECG measurements", authored by Oliver Zettinig, Tommaso Mansi, Bogdan Georgescu, Elham Kayvanpour, Farbod Sedaghat-Hamedani, Ali Amr, Jan Haas, Henning Steen, Benjamin Meder, Hugo Katus, Nassir Navab, Ali Kamen and Dorin Comaniciu
