Research Activities:

Badrinath Roysam's core research discipline is the study of algorithms and high-speed computing for imaging and image analysis. The driving applications come from biotechnology and biomedicine.

Of particular interest is the processing of biological/medical images, especially those that are three-dimensional (3-D), time varying, and multi-spectral. Such images are particularly challenging to process, due to their extremely high variability and high dimensionality. The processing tasks are computationally demanding, and require the use of high-performance computing.

Examples of current projects include computational synthesis of molecular imaging systems, mapping of gene transcription activity, automated neuron and vessel tracing, biological image change analysis, laser retinal surgery, assay automation.
