Professor Louis Collins

Research interests: Computerized image processing techniques (e.g. non-linear image registration, model-based segmentation) for identifying structures within the human brain and for quantifying anatomical variability - [website]

Dr. Collins is a Full Professor of Biomedical Engineering at McGill University. As head of the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL) at the BIC, he presently supervises a laboratory of 20 people (10 graduate students, 3 pdfs, 2 research associates, 2 engineers, 2 visiting scholars and 1 staff member) that investigate neuroscientific applications of three dimensional (3D) digital image processing methods such as registration, segmentation and tissue classification with applications in disease diagnosis, prognosis and for 3D modeling in image guided surgery. Since joining McGill as a faculty member 12 years ago, Dr. Collins has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and has supervised over 60 graduate and undergraduate students, PDFs, and research staff.
