Current Projects
His current research focus is to study Iron overload in Substantia Nigra (SN) using Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and R2* mapping and to quantify Substantia Nigra (SN) damage in Idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) patients and Neurodegenerative (Parkinson’s/Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) disease patients using multimodal MRI and to determine biomarker efficacy by studying SN volume and signal intensity variations in Neuromelanin-sensitive imaging, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), Neurite Orientation and Dispersion Density Imaging (NODDI), T2-FLAIR (Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery).
Past Projects
- ToM (Theory of Mind) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Patients, ICM, Paris, 2018 :
This project involved extracting signals in brain regions to construct a functional connectome on resting-state fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with an aim to compare interaction strength on each connection between PD patients (impaired and intact ToM) and healthy controls. - MEDUSA (Medical Distributed Utilization of Services & Applications) in collaboration with Central Radiology Department, Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital; Telecom SudParis, Évry; Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands (2014-2015):
Transnational, industry-driven research, development and innovation project in the domain of software innovation funded by ITEA/EUREKA called MEDUSA project: https://medusa.wp.imtbs-tsp.eu/”. The project aim was to enhance the quality of diagnosis and decision-making in acute and/or critical situations of a patient’s condition. Organ detection in CT/MR images; medical image registration & application implementation on the common cloud computing platform. Programming using MATLAB and C++(OpenCV). - Subjective gaming experience: combating selective attention with video cued debriefs, Denmark (2014):
Study on selective attention and the effect during gameplay using Eye Tracking and Heart Rate Monitoring devices. Race and First-person shooter games used for experiments. Psychophysical subjective experimentation was performed using several experts and non-expert gamers. - XLcloud project: XLcloud.org, 2013, France Funded by French FSN (Fonds national pour la Société Numérique) programme:
Project aimed to define and demonstrate the principles of High-Performance Computing as a service for all those applications that involve highly intensive calculations, 3D rendering, video streaming and remote visualisation. - TÜBITAK project: The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2011:
Encoder Assisted Video Resolution Improvement in Compressed Video
