Position and Affiliations
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at UBC. I am also a member of the MS/MRI Research Group in the Division of Neurology and an associate member of the Biomedical Engineering Program in the Faculty of Applied Science. I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at UBC in 2004, under the supervision of Drs. Alain Fournier and Wolfgang Heidrich. My research interests are broad, but are centred around the application of computer vision and scientific visualization methods to the analysis of medical images. My current primary research direction is the use of MRIs to improve the understanding of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis.
Collaborators
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of my work, I collaborate with many other researchers. Among those that I work most closely with are Drs. David Li and Tony Traboulsee of the MS/MRI Research Group, Dr. Rafeef Abugharbieh of the BiSICL lab, Dr. Ghassan Hamarneh of the MIAL lab, and Dr. Alex Mackay and his team at the UBC MRI Research Centre.
