Tiffany Ly

My name is Tiffany Ly. I am a PhD student and graduate research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Scott T. Acton in the Virginia Image and Video Analysis Lab (VIVA) at the University of Virginia. I completed my bachelor's in Electrical Engineering in 2015 from the University of Virginia. I received my master's in Electrical Engineering in April 2017 from the University of Virginia for my work on image retrieval on the Automata Processor.

My current project deals with automatic image reconstruction and analysis of 3D videos of biological images. The goal of this project is to create mathematical algorithms, models and software and to use machine learning to ease the quantitative analysis for neuroscience related big data problems.
