AI-Assisted Foram Classification
AI-Assisted Foram Classification
This work explores the use of deep learning for automatic classification of foraminifera species from CT scan image input. This is a collaboration with my KVL teammates and KAUST researchers. It is out now in arXiv with a journal submission underway.
PXCT of Hydrated Membranes
PXCT of Hydrated Membranes
This collaboration with Radoslaw Gorecki, Prof. Susana Nunes, and team presents in-situ ptychographic X-ray CT of fully hydrated polyamide membranes. I helped with the ptychography and tomography steps as well as with segmentation and 3D analysis.
Red Sea Carbonates Analysis
Red Sea Carbonates Analysis
A recent collaboration with Dr. Viswasanthi Chandra resulted in a publication in Geoscience Frontiers. In this project, I helped develop and implement the semi-automatic segmentation technique for micro-CT scans of carbonate nodules using Ilastik and Avizo.
Coral Probiotics Village in VR
Coral Probiotics Village in VR
This VR experience was part of a showcase that won a Golden Medal at the 2024 International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva. I developed the VR application in collaboration with the KAUST Marine Microbiomes Lab led by Prof. Raquel Peixoto.
AR for Gordon Bell Prize Winners
AR for Gordon Bell Prize Winners
I developed an augmented reality application that was used in the live presentation and conference booth of the KAUST-led winning team for the Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling 2024. The desktop version of the application is also available for download.
Plant Roots/Shoots Analysis
Plant Roots/Shoots Analysis
PlantSeg is a Matlab app that I developed for segmentation and analysis of roots/shoots used in the paper (now available in eLife) that was done in collaboration with Prof. Mark Tester (KAUST) and Prof. Magdalena Julkowska (Boyce Thompson Inst.).
