Education
Julia Alison Noble was born on 28 January 1965 in Nottingham , England, to James Bryan Noble and Patricia Ann Noble.[ 2] Maidstone Grammar School for Girls [ 11] Kent and was an undergraduate student at St Hugh's College, Oxford , where she was awarded a first-class [ 2] Engineering Science in 1986 followed by a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1989 for research on computer vision and image segmentation supervised by J. Michael Brady .[ 5] [ 6] [ 12]
Career and research
Noble started her career as a research scientist at the General Electric Corporate R&D Center in Schenectady, New York , where she worked from 1989 to 1994 on developing inspection systems for aircraft engines .[ 2] [ 13] [ 14] [ 14] [ 2] [ 15]
Noble has made contributions to medical image computing , where her research interests combine knowledge of medical imaging and computational science to support decision-making in clinical medicine .[ 1] [ 16] medical ultrasound scans and developed machine learning solutions to key problems in biomedical image analysis.[ 17] [ 18] [ 19] [ 20] [ 21]
Noble has supervised or co-supervised over 50 successful PhD students to completion[ 13] [ 5] [ 22] [ 23] [ 24] [ 25] European Research Council (ERC) ,[ 3] Medical Research Council (MRC) , the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) .[ 12] [ 26]
Honours and awards
Noble was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017 .[ 16] Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours , elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2008[ 27] Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET) in 2001.[ 2] Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2023 Birthday Honours for services to engineering and biomedical imaging.[ 28]
She is a trustee of the Oxford Trust,[ 29] Oxford Instruments to encourage the study, application and communication of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics . She is also a trustee of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and served as President of the Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Interventions (MICCAI) Society from 2013 to 2016.[ 30] [update] Honorary Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford , and is a MICCAI Society Fellow. She was the first recipient of the Laura Bassi Award of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2015.[ 31] fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford , from 2005 to 2011.[ 2] Woolmer Lecture .[ 32] Gabor Medal by the Royal Society "for developing solutions to a number of key problems in biomedical image analysis and substantially advancing automatic extraction of clinically useful information from medical ultrasound scans".
Personal life
Noble was a coxswain for the Oxford University Women's Lightweight Rowing Club in the Henley Boat Races in 1985.
