With a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence and computer vision and postgraduate training in biomedical imaging & computational neuroscience, Dr. Ehsan Adeli solves critical problems in healthcare and neuroscience.

Dr. Adeli's research group focuses on developing Translational Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in medicine and mental health. His work involves the automatic analysis of human activities and behaviors from videos, connecting how humans perform actions to the brain by analyzing magnetic resonance images (MRIs). By exploring explainable machine learning algorithms, Dr. Adeli aims to uncover the underlying factors of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases and their impact on everyday life.

His research concentrates on and connects two main areas: digital humans and human neuroscience. He analyzes 3D motion, actions, and behaviors using various human sensing technologies, such as video and sensory data. Additionally, Dr. Adeli employs clinical and cognitive tests, as well as neuroimaging modalities like MRIs, to explore brain function and neural processes. Integrating these technologies to enhance clinical applications and provide deeper insights into the complexities of human behavior and brain function, his group develops world models for neuroscience.
