Dr. Sema Candemir is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Eskişehir Technical University. Her areas of expertise are medical image analysis and machine learning, with a focus on region-of-interest detection and the integration of imaging modalities with non-imaging clinical data. She was a postdoctoral researcher with the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, from 2013 to 2018, and later a research scientist with the Department of Radiology, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She serves on the editorial boards of Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence, Frontiers in Nuclear Medicine, and the Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and is a reviewer for several medical imaging journals.

Soner Altun is a research assistant in the Department of Computer Engineering at Eskişehir Technical University. He received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Karadeniz Technical University. He is a researcher at the AI in Healthcare Laboratory, where he actively contributes to laboratory projects involving model development, experimental evaluation, and technical reporting. His research interests focus on the development and evaluation of machine learning- and image processing-based models for healthcare applications. His M.Sc. thesis aims to develop a clinical decision support system for lung cancer disease using explainable multimodal approaches.

Salih Kızılışık: Salih's research focuses on the design and evaluation of end-to-end and interpretable data analysis pipelines for multimodal medical data. He has worked on an explainable multimodal ML model for ICU admission predıction. Currently, he is working on an explainable multimodal ML framework for diffuse glioma state detection and survival prediction. He and his teammates (E. Yıldız and A. C. Tat) presented their study at the 16th Medical Informatics Congress, held at Hacettepe University in Ankara. He and his teammates were also awarded second place in the Best Engineering Design category at SIU 2025.
