Scientific Interests

I am interested in automating large-scale analysis of 3D Electron Microscopy volumes of neural tissue. Methodologically, this amounts to machine learning-based image processing. In particular, I am currently working on the introduction of higher-level priors into neuron segmentation algorithms. Previously, I did some research on synapse detection and segmentation and this topic is still of great interest to me. Do you find it exciting too? Come work with me, I'm looking for a PhD student!
More details can be found in the group's connectomics page and in the references listed below.

Collaborations

I am a visiting scientist at the HHMI Janelia Research Campus, where I collaborate with the groups of Davi Bock and Albert Cardona and the FlyEM Team Project.

Software projects

ilastik - interactive learning and segmentation toolkit. The github page is here.
