Research Interests
My research is generally in the area of computational computer vision and image processing with a particular interest in medical image analysis. I have been focusing on applying techniques from partial differential equations, differential geometry, control theory, and signal processing to problems in computer vision and medical imaging. My recent work is in shape analysis, the interplay between shape analysis and optimization problems, and dynamical models of shapes.Academic Info
