My research interests are in the areas of computer vision, image analysis and understanding. Specifically, I am interested in the theories of graphical models, medical physics, statistical learning, variational calculus, and the applications of these theories to the design and implementation of computer algorithms/systems for solving practical problems arising in computer-assisted medical diagnosis and treatment, computational biology, and robotics. A particular emphasis of my current research is on the development of automated high-performance computer vision systems for the tissue engineering project. I am a part of a multidisciplinary research team that involves biologists, computer scientists, electrical engineers, mathematicians, and medical doctors.

• Tissue Engineering - Applying the principles of biology and engineering to develop tissue substitutes to restore, maintain, or improve the function of diseased or damaged human tissues.

• Cell Tracking - We are developing fully-automated computer vision-based cell tracking algorithms and a system that automatically determines the spatiotemporal history of dense populations of cells over extended period of time.
