Activities
In my dissertation, A Multi-Scale Model of Brain White-Matter Structure and Its Solution
from Diffusion MRI, I develop a mathematical model for the millimeter-scale structure of
the whole human brain and a set of algorithms for fitting this model to diffusion MRI
scans of an individual's brain. I collaborate in my academic work with human brain
researchers (including medical physicists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and
statisticians) both locally and around the world. I write and run programs on Linux and
Mac OS X systems in C/C++, Python, Matlab, and bash to process MRI data from hospitals and
research facilities in Providence, RI; St. Louis, MO; Edinburgh; and Cape Town. My work
involves frequent presentations, including over 20 one-hour talks given to my research
group and others since 2007. I also maintain an internal wiki for documentation within my
research group and mentor an undergraduate student.
My personal activities include volunteer service in academic and community organizations,
cooking and entertaining, mountain biking and bike commuting, dancing, creating computer-
and mathematics-based visual art and music, collecting and listening to music, attending
local music shows, skiing, storytelling, backpacking, travel, and karaoke. I used Ubuntu
Linux exclusively for personal computing from 2005 until supplementing it with Mac OS X in
2007.
