Wu Lab Contacts and Team

With a PhD in Medical Physics, Tayyebeh Ebrahimi's (Tina Abraham) focus is neuroimaging. Her goal is to identify biomarkers within MRI neuroimages in neurological abnormalities. Through her research, she seeks to contribute to the advancement of medical imaging technologies and ultimately enhance patient care in the field of neurology.

Kirsten Adams is a diligent project manager with expertise spanning 20+ years. As the Wu lab manager, she excels with establishing meaningful collaborations through problem-solving, strategic goal setting, data-driven planning, and communication.

In addition to his training in psychiatry, Khalid is a fellow in neuroimaging research. His work focuses on analyzing white matter microstructure and other structural changes that occur during brain development, from early neonatal stages to late-life dementia conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Salman Shahid is a researcher specializing in neuroimaging and the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. His work spans multi-modal magnetic resonance studies, with significant contributions to understanding synaptic density deficits, brain microstructural alterations, and the impacts of prenatal opioid exposure on the brain.

Yomna's training in medical practices informs her work in identifying imaging biomarkers. The goal of her research is to aid early detection of Alzheimer's disease, its timely diagnosis and intervention. She is excited to align her work with the new emerging disease-modifying therapies to aid patients.

Amulya Veldandi is a former doctor currently transitioning into imaging informatics while pursuing a Master’s degree in health informatics at Indiana University Indianapolis. She specializes in neuroradiology, working as a research assistant at the Wu Lab, where she focuses on applying deep learning techniques to analyze brain MRIs and improve diagnostic precision. Her research aims to develop AI-driven tools for better interpretation of neurological images, reducing diagnostic errors and enhancing patient outcomes.

Aibo Wang is a former radiologist who has transitioned into research.  He focuses on the correlation between brain MRI images and histology in the Wu Lab.  His research aims to uncover underlying pathologies and identify novel features in the manifestations of various brain diseases as seen in MRI scans.

Ho-Ching (Shawn) Yang is a dedicated researcher in the field of sport-related concussion and mild traumatic brain injuries. Utilizing diffusion MRI, he explores the brain microstructural changes in the brain. Moreover, he has years of experience using functional MRI studying brain cognitive and physiological function.
