Dr Andrew Janke

I have worked in conjunction with a number of sites including the Aarhus PET Centre, Brain and Body Centre, Nottingham University, The Cuban Neuroscience Institute, UCLA Medical School, Montreal Neurological Institute, Karolinska Intitute, Pfizer, Siemens and GSK Pharmaceuticals (UK).

My undergraduate degrees involved a combination of neuroanatomy, physiology and computer science. From there I completed a PhD in what is now called Biomedical Engineering on the automated analysis of longitudinal Alzheimer's dementia data. I now work at the Dementia Collaborative Research Centre #2 and am responsible for the design and stewardship of the Australian Normative and Dementia Imaging (ANDI) collaborative network. This is a very large scale dementia and elderly network with the primary goal of an Australia wide Imaging repository for the dementias to enable rapid
differential diagnosis amongst other goals.

My research interests are (at times to my detriment) varied but things that interest me are distributed processing/data basing, non-linear registration, large scale automated image analysis, MR hardware development, Non-imaging approaches to MRI distortion correction, GNU/Linux clustering, Video card based VPU processing and automated performance and quality metrics for Medical imaging research.
