Adaptive quantification and subtyping of pulmonary emphysema from CT images
Funded by National Institutes of Health (NHLBI)1 R01
Period: 2012 -current
Short Info : Pulmonary emphysema is a condition involving alveolar wall destruction, contributing to chronic airflow limitation characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The processes underlying COPD are currently not well understood, even though the disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Past Study: Automated detection of Protein Crystal Images
Short Info: High-throughput experiments with varying crystallization conditions are currently performed with the hopes that one or more conditions will provide leads for actual protein crystallization.

Past Study: Quantitative Analysis of Retinal Images via Fluoroscopy (2005-2010)
Short Info : Create robust and minimal intervention algorithms for segmentation and quantitation of the key abnormalities in retinal disorders: drusen, GA, hyper- and hypopigmentation in color photographs, hyper/hypofluorescent lesions in AF images, and hyper/hyporeflectance in IR images. Define disease metrics based on data fusion from the images in registration.
Time domain Compressive Beamforming (t-CBF): Application to echocardiography
Ultrasound (US) imaging has been used in the medical field for over 20 years for applications ranging from fetus monitoring to tumor ablation, hence spanning both the diagnostic and therapeutic worlds. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness with respect to other imaging modalities such as MRI and X-ray make it a great tool in the medical imaging arsenal. However in spite of recent developments and enhancements, US imaging still has several drawbacks.
