ECE 598-YS Super-resolution Biomedical Imaging – Methods, Algorithms and Applications
2024 Full
Description: This graduate-level course offers a comprehensive exploration into the cutting-edge field of super-resolution biomedical imaging, covering a wide array of modalities, including optical, acoustic, MRI, CT, and PET imaging. This course is designed for students with a background in electrical and computer engineering, biomedical engineering, medical physics, or a related field, aiming to equip students with a deep understanding of the principles, computational strategies, and practical applications of super-resolution techniques in biomedical sciences.
Through lectures and project-based learning, students will delve into the mathematical foundations and algorithmic approaches underpinning super-resolution technologies. The course will navigate through three modules of optical microscopy enhancements, acoustic resolution improvements, and the advancements enabling higher resolution in clinical imaging, such as optical, MRI, CT, and PET imaging technicques. At the end of each imaging module, emphasis will be placed on the practical applications of these techniques in clinical diagnostics, therapeutic guidance, and biomedical research, highlighting their impact on understanding complex biological systems and enhancing patient care.

ECE 398 Program Methods for Machine Learning
2021 Full
Description: This course will introduce auto-differentiation tools like PyTorch, basic machine learning algorithms (including linear regression, logistic regression, deep nets, k-means clustering), and extend them with custom extensions to fit your needs. Auto-differentiation tools are one of the most important tools for data analysis and a solid understanding is increasingly important in many disciplines. In contrast to existing courses that focus on algorithmic and theoretical aspects, here we focus on studying material that permits deploying auto-diff tools to your area of interest.
