Current Projects
1. Imaging and statistical methods for longitudinal brain imaging studies.
Brain imaging studies using MRI generate large volumes of raw data that needs to be transformed into forms amenable to statistical analysis. Different types of image and different studies require different approaches. This project develops software processing pipelines to process data from studies run by our group, such as the TASCOG, CDOT, METTS, and within international datasets (ADNI). The project also develops methods for analysis of images from preclinical studies.
2. Analysis methods for structural covariance.
Structural covariance is an approach to generating population level networks from brain structural MRI data. This differs from the typical source of brain network information such as diffusion weighted imaging or functional imaging. This project explores sparse methods for generation of structural covariance networks.
3. Health services planning and optimization using Google maps.
Travel time is an important part of many health services, such as ambulance transport to hospital emergency departments for acute stroke. This project uses Google maps queries to construct objective estimates travel time that vary with traffic conditions to allow various models of health service delivery to be evaluated and compared.
