After introducing the basics of diffusion MRI, I will describe how the technique can be employed to address important problems such as mapping neural connectivity and delineating microstructure in the brain. In the latter part of the talk, I will discuss recent advances on the influence of the geometry of neural projections on the observed diffusion MRI signal.

Multi-exposure laser speckle contrast imaging (MELSCI) is a non-invasive technique for measuring the microcirculation in superficial tissue. By using images at multiple exposure times many advantages are gained compared to conventional single-exposure LSCI, but this also comes with new difficulties and higher demands on both hardware and algorithms. In this talk, I will present a new MELSCI technique using programmable electronics and machine learning, which overcomes many of these challenges.

In this talk, I will present an overview of spatial frequency domain spectroscopy (SFDS), how it approaches the challenge of differentiating structures within compound tissues, such as skin, its current limitations, as well as discuss a few unmet clinical needs this non-invasive approach may provide unique insight.

Mechanistic models are typically limited in scale, but are greatly descriptive of the system they are ment to replicate. Now, we are developing a method of creating mechanistic models for large scale data. Such models could then be used to search for novel drug targets efficiently and cheaply.
