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][14][15] She returned to the University of Oxford as a lecturer in 1995 to work on medical applications of computer vision[15] and was promoted to Professor in 2001,[2] as the first female Statutory Professor in Engineering at Oxford.[16]

Noble has made contributions to

clinical medicine.[1][7] Her research has advanced understanding of automatic extraction of clinically useful information from 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

Honours and awards

Noble was elected a

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] a charity established by the founders of 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] As of 2017, Noble is an 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] Previously she was a fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, from 2005 to 2011.[2] In 2018 she presented the Woolmer Lecture.[32] In 2019, Professor Noble was awarded the 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".
