Abstract

I have a long-standing interest in implementing engineering methods to solve problems in medicine. I have extensive experience performing research on three-dimensional medical image registration and segmentation, with applications to brains, pelvises, and statistical atlases. I have particular expertise in deformable 3D-3D image registration for different application purposes, including the automatic generation of subject-specific anatomical labels in both MRI and CT images. My current work focuses on developing pipelines for automatic segmentation and labeling of human anatomy (e.g., brain and bones), for systematic analysis to better characterize clinical syndromes for personalized medicine, such as dementia in elderly patients.
