Overview
My research interests lie in the areas of signal and image-processing, statistics, control theory, computer vision and related applications. Of particular interest to me is the application of mathematics, statistics and control theory to solve problems in medical imaging and computer vision.

My research interests lie in developing smart imaging techniques to understand brain structure and function. My team has developed several compressed sensing algorithms for fast imaging of diffusion MRI — a technology that is now being used to obtain advanced MRI scans of children with ADHD (Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). My current research focus is on 1). Ultra-high resolution diffusion imaging combining acquisition and reconstruction, 2). estimating tissue microstructure from biophysical and stochastic models of diffusion, and 3). time-series analysis for understanding functional connectivity using fMRI, EEG or MEG data. Clinical research focus includes using and developing sophisticated tractography algorithms for precise targeting of deep-brain stimulation (DBS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Parkinson’s and major depressive disorder (MDD). My broad research focus is in the areas of signal and image-processing, statistics, control theory, machine learning, computer vision and related applications to solve inverse problems in medical imaging.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
