I am an assistant professor in the EECS Department and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. I also hold the Distinguished Alumnus (1964) Career Development Chair. My primary research interest is in developing novel techniques for image analysis and understanding. I particularly enjoy working on algorithms that either explore the geometry of the world and the imaging process in a new way or improve image-based inference through statistical modeling of the image data. I am interested in shape modeling and representation, predictive modeling and visualization of statistical models. My current research focuses on developing statistical analysis methods for characterization of biological processes using images (from MRI to microscopy) as a source of information. In this domain, I am interested in modeling biological shape and function, how they relate to each other and vary across individuals.   Biomedical Imaging and Analysis Seminar Series (2006-2007, 2005-2006).
