Daniel Andresen

Kansas State University, KS·Computer Science

Modern neuroscience produces very large datasets, including brain scans, recordings of electrical activity, and detailed behavioral measurements, often collected in real time. Storing, sharing and analyzing these data securely takes specialized computing infrastructure and expertise.

Grants
1 known grant, through May 2027

What they work on

  1. Provide secure, fast data sharing, analytics, computational modeling and high-performance computing for neuroscience datasets such as fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, EEG and electrophysiology recordings.
  2. Add machine learning and artificial intelligence expertise to the core, with new faculty advisors and graduate students, to help researchers apply ML/AI models to neuroscience data.
  3. Support sensitive research data on-premises and in the cloud through the Research Information Security Enclave, a secure Microsoft Azure–based environment.

More about the research

Increasingly, it also takes machine learning.

Why it matters

Reliable computing, secure data storage and machine-learning support let neuroscientists analyze brain imaging, neural recordings and Alzheimer's disease model data at scales they otherwise could not. That could speed research on brain function and disease and help junior investigators build independent research programs.

Known grants

From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
