An MRI scan shows a Chiari type-1 malformation, in which the cerebellum extends beyond the gap in the skull where it connects to the spinal cord. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have used AI tools to describe three sub-types of Chiari type-1, which will help guide clinicians to make the most effective treatment decisions for their patients.

Researchers define new subtypes of common brain disorder

Artificial intelligence identified 3 subtypes of Chiari type-1 malformations, could improve medical decision making.

3D surface models can be used to prototype new technology, among many other applications. A new suite of algorithms developed by Tao Ju will make it easier for anyone to create 3D surface models by drawing curves, whether on the computer screen or in virtual reality. (Photo: Adobe Stock)

3D modeling made easier

Tao Ju received an NSF grant to develop innovative algorithms for 3D surface modeling.

Academics

We create difference-makers.

"I worked at Google for six years as a site reliability engineer, software engineer, internal startup co-founder, plus a couple of short rotations as a CS instructor. I was picking universities based specifically on the CS education research groups, and Dr. Kelleher's work seemed like the most interesting and the most similar to the type of thing I wanted to do."
