Did you even go to a conference if you didn't pose for (at least) one group photo during the week? 😉📸

📍 Snapshots from #SPIEMedicalImaging 2026 in beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada.

I’ve added a /now and /ideas page on adamsaunders.net to share what I’m up to and ideas I’m thinking over. Inspired by aboutideasnow.com! #IndieWeb

Just for fun, I put up 29 feet of wire on my ceiling - I had no idea how well it would work as an antenna. I’m catching #hamradio signals from Chile!

I enjoyed presenting our work on phenotype discovery from large-scale traumatic brain injury MRI at the 2025 VISE Symposium this week here at Vanderbilt!

I think one of the funniest things I’ve done as a grad student is use adversarial attacks to fool an ImageNet classification model into thinking my dog Dolly is a burrito.

I’m testing out syndicating notes directly from my website to social media like Bluesky. Hopefully this works and any replies will appear on my site!

Dr. Jing Zhang is using AI to reconstruct fragmented archaeological materials at the 1st International Workshop on Spatial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage at #CVPR2025. Super cool work on such a difficult problem!
