Jeffrey Glaister

I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a member of the Image Analysis and Communications Lab. My area of research is the processing of diffusion MRI to automatically segment the thalamus and thalamic nuclei, developing methods to reconstruct the layers of the meninges (subarachnoid space and dura mater), and to find the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebellum to improve computational models of traumatic brain injuries.
