Manjari Narayan, doctoral student at Rice U. in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department, presented a session discussing her research: "Differential Network Testing for Populations of Graphical Models". Her advisor, Dr. Genevera Allen also discussed her research during the same session that can be viewed at http://bit.ly/Allen_Narayan.
Manjari Narayan is a graduate student in the Rice
Electrical and Computer Engineering department. She works at the intersection
of high dimensional statistics and neuroscientific data analysis where her
primary focus is to develop new methods that take advantage of the inherent low
dimensional structure of complex real world signals such as fMRI images to
solve open problems in neuroscience. Currently she is collaborating with
neuroscientists in the Houston Medical Center to develop new methods to study
functional connectomics. Manjari received her B.S and M.S in Electrical
Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Rice
University, respectively. She is the recipient of the 2009 Google Anita Borg
Scholarship.
