Dr. Ali Maziad is an Orthopedic and Spine surgeon who joined the lab as a Post-Doctoral NIH-T32
research fellow and surgical consultant at the Image Processing and Informatics Lab, department of
Biomedical Engineering at USC. He received his bachelor degree in Medicine and Surgery in December of
2004 from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Recently he has obtained his Master degree in Orthopedic
Surgery after completing his residency program. He is also preparing for examinations of a PhD degree in
Orthopedics. He joined Image Processing and Informatics Laboratory in October of 2009.

Over the past two years, Dr. Maziad has participated in developing Surgmatix, an intraoperative surgical
informatics system for monitoring minimally invasive spinal surgery procedures. He also presented the
outcomes of the project at the NIBIB training grantees meeting in June of 2010, Besthesda, MD , RSNA
annual meetings in Chicago and the International Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine Society – IMLAS;
Antalya, Turkey in November of 2010.

Along with his research projects, Dr. Maziad is pursuing an Orthopedic surgery career in USA through
advanced post-graduate surgical training fellowships.
