Research Interests

I am interested in the analysis of medical images that somehow differ from the norm, particularly those related to pathology or aging. My main interest is in the application of statistical pattern recognition techniques for determining the underlying anatomy from images, in cases where we have limited prior knowledge on pathological and growth processes. Conversely, I am also interested in the simulation of pathological and growth processes for generating realistic-appearing medical images.

My general research interests are:

• Image processing and analysis
• Machine learning (pattern recognition)
• Computer vision
