lab and wrote code for estimation of intensity distributions that made the segmentation procedures insensitive to pulse sequence (Han and Fischl, 2007), Rahul Desikan worked with Ron Killiany to develop a gyral-based cortical parcellation (Desikan et al., 2006), similar to Christophe Destrieux's earlier Ph.D. work with Eric Halgren, Koen van Leemput is one of the world's experts in segmentation of medical imaging data, and has developed techniques for segmenting hippocampal subfields in standard resolution data using information from a high-resolution training set (Van Leemput et al., 2009); B.T. Thomas Yeo did his doctoral work at MIT with Polina Golland and myself working on an array of surface-based tools for spherical filter banks including wavelets (Yeo et al., 2008), on fast diffeomorphic surface-based registration (Yeo et al., 2010a,2010b), and for computing registration functionals that are optimized for specific tasks, such as alignment of Brodmann areas (Yeo et al., 2010a,2010b); and finally, last but certainly not least is Mert Sabuncu, who was Polina's postdoc and is currently faculty at MGH whose work involves cutting edge segmentation using probabilistic label fusion (Sabuncu et al., 2010), and is more recently working on imaging genetics, multivariate pattern analysis, and longitudinal statistics.
