Boguslaw Obara is Professor of Image Informatics in the School of Computing at Newcastle University.

He obtained a first master degree in computational physics from Jagiellonian University and PhD in Image Processing from AGH University of Science and Technology.

Before joining Newcastle University as Professor; he held research assistant positions at Polish Academy of Sciences and at Computer Vision Laboratory, ETH, Fulbright Fellowship at Vision Research Laboratory, postdoctoral positions at Center for BioImage Informatics, University of California, and at Oxford e-Research Centre, University of Oxford, and assistant, associate and professor positions at Department of Computer Science at Durham University. He was also AstraZeneca Visiting Professor in Image Processing & Artificial Intelligence.

Boguslaw Obara's research focuses on the design and implementation of complex image analysis and processing, pattern recognition, computer vision and machine learning solutions applied to a wide range of domains.
