&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;=== [[User:Daniel Engel|Daniel]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* QIT&lt;br /&gt;
** work through Ryan&amp;#039;s tutorial series and learn how to add modules&lt;br /&gt;
** ideally would like to be able to figure out how to write code in C++ that works with QIT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*DMRI ideas&lt;br /&gt;
** generally, want to see how ideas from topology can help us understand DMRI data&lt;br /&gt;
** identify singularities of voxel-space (where diffusion is roughly isotropic) and non-singularities (more anisotropic diffusion), build a morse-smale complex, see what this can tell us&lt;br /&gt;
** understand the space of curves extracted via tractography:&lt;br /&gt;
*** once we specify a curve metric this yields a distance matrix between curves&lt;br /&gt;
*** to visualize this curve space I plan to use some type of spring-mass relaxation method in order to find a suitable embedding of points in a low-dim space that reflects these distances&lt;br /&gt;
*** persistent homology could inform the construction of a new algorithm for clustering tracts&lt;br /&gt;
*** explore local curve space by perturbing seed points then looking at relative change in curve space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* GBM application with Gilbert&lt;br /&gt;
** see how top tools can be used to measure inter-voxel coh from GBM scans&lt;br /&gt;
** hopefully there is some relationship between &amp;quot;topolgical breaks&amp;quot; and tumor infiltration boundary&lt;br /&gt;
** look at brain oxygenation levels in relation to top structures&lt;br /&gt;
** write semester project proposal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* people in applied topology&lt;br /&gt;
** attend the applied top seminars&lt;br /&gt;
** interact more with Isaac and Melissa&lt;br /&gt;
** get a sense of theoretical problems that are &amp;quot;hard&amp;quot;/(not well understood) in applying persistent hom&lt;br /&gt;
** figure out the details of math dept program with Jeff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Classes&lt;br /&gt;
** TBD&lt;br /&gt;
