معرفی
Dana Brooks is a Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University, with affiliations in Bioengineering. He holds a PhD from Northeastern University (1991) and has received the Søren Buus Outstanding Research Award (2006). His primary research focuses on biomedical signal and image processing, medical imaging techniques (including MRI and electrocardiography), and neuromodulation technologies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). He is also involved in protein conformation estimation using X-ray scattering and optimization algorithms for medical applications.
Dr. Brooks leads the Biomedical Signals Processing Lab and collaborates with the Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing. His work bridges engineering and medicine, with recent grants including a $400K NSF MRI grant for advanced TMS systems and a $600K NSF grant for motor cortical organization studies. He has advised students like Setareh Ariafar (PhD’20) and contributed to innovations in image mosaicking for confocal microscopy and machine learning applications in dermatology.
His publications span computational neuroscience, cardiac imaging, and uncertainty quantification in biomedical simulations. Notable achievements include developing algorithms for ECG imaging, optimizing TMS protocols, and creating tools like UncertainSCI for simulation reliability assessment.
