I am joining @ualberta.bsky.social as a faculty member and
@amiithinks.bsky.social!

My research group is recruiting MSc and PhD students at the University of Alberta in Canada. Research topics include generative modeling, representation learning, interpretability, inverse problems, and neuroAI.

We have released VARS-fUSI: Variable sampling for fast and efficient functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) using neural operators.

The first deep learning fUSI method to allow for different sampling durations and rates during training and inference. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/
