Current projects
Web-based Automated Imaging Differentiation of Parkinsonism
Builds web-based imaging tools, funded by the NIH, that analyze motion and images to help tell apart different forms of parkinsonism.

Training and Assessing AI-generated MRI images of human brains with Parkinson’s disease
The project tests whether generative AI can create realistic brain MRI scans for early clinical studies. To judge the quality of the generated images, the team trained classifiers to tell Parkinson's patients from healthy people, using MRI data from 249 subjects.
