Ebrahim Ebrahim is a Staff R&D Engineer on Kitware’s Medical Computing Team in Carrboro, North Carolina. He develops advanced software solutions that support research, clinical, and commercial applications across the medical and biomedical fields. His work spans neuroimaging, surgical spectral imaging, and medical visualization, with expertise in mathematical modeling, algorithm design, and software engineering.
In neuroimaging, Ebrahim has contributed to deformable image registration, statistical harmonization of multi-site datasets, and neuronavigation tools for focused ultrasound treatments. He also leads a project developing methods for longitudinal analysis of white matter microstructure using diffusion MRI. His contributions to surgical spectral imaging include applying machine learning to spectral images, designing optical models to create new image contrasts, and developing device calibration methodologies.
Beyond imaging, Ebrahim has built educational and surgical planning tools, patient-specific modeling systems, and data ingestion pipelines from electronic health records and PACs to support machine learning and clinical decision-making.
