    Bino Varghese is an Assistant Professor of Research with expertise in imaging, image processing, quantification and biomechanics. He obtained his B.E. in Medical Electronics from Visveswariah Technological University in 2002 and his Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in imaging and image processing, from the Wright State University at Dayton, Ohio in 2005. In 2010, he received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Wright State University. His doctoral dissertation was titled "Quantitative Computed-Tomography Based Bone-Strength Indicators for the Identification of Low Bone-Strength Individuals in a Clinical Environment."

    In Feb 2014, he joined the Department of Radiology at USC as a Research Laboratory Specialist. His current work focuses on investigating the technical feasibility and clinical value of quantifying multi-modal imaging biomarkers across various domains with an aim to maximize data utilization and increase clinical translation.
