Research Projects

As a computer scientist, my current research focuses on advancing the state of the art in specific areas of quantitative science, primarily machine learning and image processing. I have long been intrigued by the incredible effectiveness of deductive reasoning and mathematical modeling in explaining our Universe. Following the same philosophical and mathematical thinking, I have been conducting computational modeling research in neuroscience and medicine. My research focuses on leveraging machine learning, deep learning, and computational modeling to understand the relationship between brain and behavior, leading to novel therapeutic concepts for brain disorders and brain-inspired AI.

I have 20 years of experience in advanced modeling, algorithm, and software development. I have released two open-source biomedical data mining software packages on NITRC: the GAMMA suite and Advanced Connectivity Analysis. I am Associate Vice Chair of AI, Department of Radiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine. I am a senior member of IEEE. I am an editorial member of Journal of Signal Processing Systems, Frontier of Computational Neuroscience, Frontiers of Neurorobotics, the Open Neuroimaging Journal, and the Neuroradiology Journal. My research is funded by NIH and the BRAIN initiative.
