The Power List 2020 – Big Breakthroughs
A Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Hamid leads the world’s largest AI and machine learning lab focused exclusively on image search in pathology. As the first to harness content-based image retrieval to search for similar cases, Hamid has opened many eyes to the potential of AI-powered image search. His best advice? “Working in an area where new ideas may potentially disrupt decades-old workflows might not be rewarding in the short run – but sticking to one’s vision and learning from the objective critiques of others are vital to reach the shores of certainty.”
