Brad Davis received a B.A. in computer science from Carleton College in 2001, and a M.S in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2005. He is currently a part-time Ph.D. student at UNC and a member of the Medical Image Display and Analysis research Group (MIDAG). His research interests include medical image registration and atlas construction, atlas based segmentation, tracking organ motion for adaptive radiation therapy, and statistics of shape. Brad joined Kitware in June, 2006, as a Research and Development Engineer.
