Research Interests

Neuroimaging, Medical image analysis, multi-modal data fusion, clinical decision support
My lab focuses on developing neuroinformatics techniques using machine learning, statistical modeling, and pattern recognition for applications in brain tumors and neurological disorders. One of the primary focuses of BrIC lab is to identify computerized image-based (also known as radiomic) phenotypes, and their associations with genomics (radiogenomics) and histo-pathology (radio-pathomics) for disease characterization.

Teaching Interests

Pattern Recognition, Image processing
