=== [[User:Andy Forsberg|Andy]] ===
# mri/wrist
## tools
### registration, classification, distance-field calculation, bone proximity calc.
### graphical visualization/verification?
## modeling?
# $G (nightly tests, architecture, outside test-case = ADVISER)
# future funding candidates
## volume data visualization/analysis
## flow visualization w/ leopold/GK
## other?

Projects

* Support the ongoing projects including collaborators. Active projects are wrist, brainapp, adviser, and protein.

* Assist Radu to integrate a test and any recent code.

* Contribute to the design of the new cave.

Infrastructure

* Continue to write Wiki entries as needed.

* Continue setting up external software for students to use. Current imported packages are: blitz, cg, g3d, qt, and xerces

* Extend make files for local installs and kits for source and binary distributions.

* Continue to make improvements to the make files so they are easier to use and to provide Windows support.

* Upgrade migrated Linux code to work with gcc 4.3.

* Continue to integrate any new tests written by students into nightly test runs.

* Integrate the new version of the Nag libraries.

Knowledge

* Learn more about the cave; particularly software development.

* Meet (SciVis talk) with students to address any integration issues.

=== Çağatay ===
# Incorporate feedback from the committee into the[[:Image:Çağatay's_thesis_ideas.pdf | proposal]]
# Start working realizing the finalized proposal.
# Submit the histogram embedding work to ISMRM.
# Submit the surface deformation work to SIGGRAPH.
----

=== David ===
#figure out software and data dissemination and get implemented with bb's help [some progress, more next semester]
#wrist proposal submission [not sure where this went with Trey]
#harvard stuff moving; read Janeway? [good meeting in Boston]
#support 6 phd students' progress [all proposals done!]
#write a plan for HCI modeling work (draft by 10/23, rev by 11/20) [not enough structure]
#minimize professional service [less successful than hoped]
#vis2011 sited, early committee defined after Vis by 10/16 [contract signed, delaying committee]
----

=== Eni ===

*submit tract integrity vs. cognitive tests abstract and histograms abstract to ismrm
*possibly write a paper on the wrist comparison study (old/new subjects)
*while working on different wrist problems, think of a problem I might want to focus on
*do well in the courses I'm taking

[[:Image:Jadrian Miles PhD Proposal original 2009-06-22.pdf‎|Initial thesis proposal, submitted 2009-06-22]]

# Incorporate committee's comments into my proposal by 2009-10-15
#* Revision complete 2009-10-15
# Make a list of papers to spawn from the proposal by 2009-10-15
#* {{red|Incomplete}}
# Decide with dhl on the role of animal models in the proposal
#* Histological "wetwork" will play an important role in the research; significant planning and collaboration-building took place this semester
# Finish clustering code sufficient for an initial version of the backsolving system
#* {{red|Incomplete}}
# Find or build implementations of a more sophisticated tractography technique (Q-ball or Gordon's multi-tensor)
#* DTK & Trackvis installed and working with current data as of 2009-11-04
# Work with Ed Walsh, dhl, and wzhou to settle on some HARDI parameters
#* {{red|Scan parameters have not been decided}} but ongoing work with Steve's group is teaching us all more about parameter tradeoffs
# Take one HARDI scan by 2009-11-24
#* {{red|No new scan was acquired this fall}}, pending a decision about scan parameters
# Get DifSim (the MCell-based UCSD diffusion simulator) installed and working here
#* {{red|Not installed}} due to ongoing license issues, but I'm in communication with the developers and confident that it'll work out
