About:

The history of medicine and medical technology shows a continuous gradual improvement from primitive practices thousands of years ago in Egypt up to the most advanced technology today. A new fronteir in medical technology is development of medical technology to treat brain disease and nervous system damage. The brain is the most complex and important organ of a human body, but the least understood. Medical technology stems first from understanding, then from technology developed around that understanding. Studying the brain is particularly challenging due do its complex organization at multiple scales, from the nanometers to centimeters. Richard Giuly develops software-based tools and algorithms that allow scientist to better study and understand the brain, a critical step in ultimately developing new medical technologies for treating neurodegenerative disease and neural trauma.

I'm currently interested in advancing microscopy technology and developing automated segmentation algorithms to trace out neuronal connections in neuropil.
