* QIT
** work through Ryan's tutorial series and learn how to add modules
** ideally would like to be able to figure out how to write code in C++ that works with QIT
 
*DMRI ideas
** generally, want to see how ideas from topology can help us understand DMRI data
** 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
** understand the space of curves extracted via tractography:
*** once we specify a curve metric this yields a distance matrix between curves
*** 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
*** persistent homology could inform the construction of a new algorithm for clustering tracts
*** explore local curve space by perturbing seed points then looking at relative change in curve space
 
* GBM application with Gilbert
** see how top tools can be used to measure inter-voxel coh from GBM scans
** hopefully there is some relationship between "topolgical breaks" and tumor infiltration boundary
** look at brain oxygenation levels in relation to top structures
** write semester project proposal
 
* people in applied topology
** attend the applied top seminars
** interact more with Isaac and Melissa
** get a sense of theoretical problems that are "hard"/(not well understood) in applying persistent hom
** figure out the details of math dept program with Jeff
 
* Classes
** TBD

* yurt
** seams calibrated within a few mm's by 2/15
** maybe include Simon Su, Kreylos, others; EnSight, Paravision
** paper submitted about R&D, model on Cruz, by ???
** reresubmit TTTS manuscript (Johannes) by 3/31
** new exp results paper (Johannes) by 3/31
** hmd+yurt paper resubmitted (Johannes)
* Dino major revision, maybe post vis (Johannes)
** dinoyurt progress w/steve/morgan
* Gilbert progress (w Daniel?)
** homology, tumor, maybe heart
* method of loci, mem castle (Fumeng) by 3/31
* good new course
** good resulting wiki/doc
** students engaged and satisfied
* bring in more ugrad researchers
** training, categories, job jar(s), link to Tom, advertise, web site
* orthopedics
** ~ tools continuing to run well (despite upgrade)
*** - get registration pipeline to pass regression tests
** ~ maybe pursue diffusion imaging in joints
* keep all advisees moving along appropriately
* DGS
* CCMB search
