Adele Myers Gives an Eye-Opening Public Lecture in Santa Barbara!

50% of the world's population experiences menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause. 85% of females aged 18-64 have used contraceptives. Yet, only a small fraction of research has been dedicated to understanding how these processes impact the female brain. This lack of attention to female health is surprising, especially considering the increased risk of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's, migraines, and multiple sclerosis in women.

Adele Myers is Interviewed by the Machine Learning Street Talks Podcast @ NeurIPS

Adele Myers, Ph.D. student in the Geometric Intelligence Lab, is featured in the renowned Machine Learning Street Talks Podcast Series at NeurIPS 2022 for her work: "Regression-Based Elastic Metric Learning on Shape Spaces of Elastic Curves" with Nina Miolane. Watch her interview here!

Nina Miolane is Featured in UCSB Convergence Revue

Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, is featured in UCSB Magazine of Engineering & Science (Convergence) for our research on quantifying the morphodynamics of migrating cells with geometric statistics !

The cells in our bodies are constantly on the move to achieve a myriad of tasks that are essential to life. What happens when cell motion is disrupted? What can we learn from the uncoordinated dances of abnormal moving cells? Could we read characteristics of pathologies such as cancers by decoding cell movements?
