Current Projects
Model-based characterization of temporal changes in endogenous neurotranmitters noninvasively with PET (with M Normadin, K Yoder)
Model-independent (i.e., nonparametric) of temporal changes in endogenous neurotranmitters noninvasively with PET characterization (C Constantinescu and C Bouman)
Perfusion and diffusion-weighted imaging of stroke and MR (with J James, K Yoder, PhD, A Bruno, MD, O Osuntukun, MD) - this is also a collaboration with MedicalNumerics, Sterling VA.

Studying neurochemical responses to alcohol in Preferring (P) and Non-preferring (NP) rats (with K Yoder, M Normandin, J Froehlich, PhD, and a cast of 1000s)
Modeling the dopaminergic response to drugs and alcohol in disease (with K Yoder, PhD)
Direct estimation of Parametric Images from Sinograms (C Bouman, PhD of Purdue U ,M Kamasak of Istanbul Technical U, B Christian of U of Wisconsin-Madison)
Simulation/retrospective studies to predict the behavior of PET tracers in the presence of endogenous competitors (with K Yoder, PhD)
Simulation studies to uderstand change in binding potential as an index of dopamine release (with K Yoder, PhD)
Optimization of experimental PET protocols for detecting and characterizing dopamine response to stimuli (M Normandin)
Ongoing Modeling collaborations (with R Muzic at Case Western Reserve U and B Christian, PhD at U Wisconsin-Madison)
