Summary
Fakrul Tushar is an Assistant Research Professor and healthcare AI researcher with eight years of experience specializing in medical imaging, synthetic data, and digital twin technologies to improve personalized and reproducible clinical workflows. He earned a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Duke University after an Erasmus Mundus MA in Medical Imaging and Applications, training across Spain, Italy, and France. At Duke’s Center for Virtual Imaging Trials he led open-source efforts in reproducible in-silico screening, task-aware pretraining, and benchmark datasets—work that compressed screening timelines and achieved near-state-of-the-art AUCs without extra data. His prior projects automated labeling of 400K radiology reports and trained 3D CNNs on multi-cohort CT data, demonstrating a consistent focus on scalable, translational AI. Now leading a lab at the University of Arizona, he pursues data-centric AI and agentic workflows for radiology while actively seeking clinical collaborations and grant funding. Colleagues note his blend of rigorous engineering, commitment to open science, and a knack for turning complex simulation tools into practical resources for clinical research.
