 Senior Research Associate, Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Scientist I am a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), University of Minnesota (UMN). I did my doctoral research in the area of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at National University of Singapore (NUS), where from I received my PhD in 2012. I received my postdoctoral training from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (2013-2014), where I started my research in Brain image analysis. My research at CMRR is focused on reconstruction of white matter parameters of the brain and spine from diffusion MRI (dMRI) data. Also I am working on translational research projects applying dMRI analysis tools for understanding the white matter structural changes in neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinsons Disease. I was awarded the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) Imaging Scientist grant in 2020. Currently I am working on a project proposed as part of the CZI grant, to improve the microstructure estimation from diffusion MRI using microscopy data. Key Research Areas Current (Post-Ph.D): Diffusion MRI, Optical Coherence Tomography, microstructure imaging, neurological disorders Past (Ph.D): Machine learning, computer vision, pattern recognition This web-site provides a brief overview of my research and makes selected scientific publications (and some datasets) available to the research community.
