Lejla currently holds the position of Associate Professor at the Department of Magnetic Detection and Imaging. Her expertise lies in the fields of medical imaging, computer vision, medical devices, and laparoscopy, as evidenced by her (co-)authorship of over 70 publications (excluding conference abstracts).
Lejla pursued her studies in Electrical Engineering at Delft University of Technology. Under the guidance of Prof. Babuska, she successfully completed her undergraduate program focusing on fuzzy clustering of medical signals. She also worked alongside Dr. ir. van Wijk van Brievingh, Prof. Ince, and Prof. Lelieveldt exploring the analysis of colonoscopy images. In 2013 she obtained het PhD from Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam (Biomedical imaging Group Rotterdam) supervised by Prof. Niessen. Her research in this period encompassed a wide range of methods for assessing cancer treatment outcomes using pre-clinical and clinical data. Her doctoral thesis, titled ‘Quantification of tumour heterogeneity in MRI’, was defended within two graduate schools: Advanced School for Computing and Imaging and Molecular Medicine.
Throughout her academic journey, Lejla has held research fellowships at esteemed institutions, including Leiden University Medical Center (Division of Image Processing), Academic Medical Center University of Amsterdam (Experimental Anaesthesiology), Engineering Science at the University of Oxford (Robotics Research Group, led by Sir. Brady), Texas A&M University at Qatar (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering). Additionally, she served as a scientific researcher and project leader at TNO, a renowned Dutch contract research institute. In 2019, she assumed the role of Assistant Professor at the Department of Magnetic Detection and Imaging at the University of Twente.
