Research Interests
My research interests center around patient-specific whole-heart modeling, which includes in-vivo cardiac image segmentation, estimation of myocardial fiber orientations, and image-registration. Add to that ex vivo image-based cardiac modeling: which includes ex-vivo cardiac image segmentation and diffusion tensor image processing. Finally, I develop computational methods for brain surface mapping, such as cortical surface parameterization and registration, and neural source imaging.
