Michael Romano, MD, PhD

Radiology Resident

Mike is a radiology resident with a background in deep learning, statistical modeling, and image processing. He did his PhD in Computational Neuroscience at Boston University where he used calcium imaging to study the striatum in mice, and then moved from mice to humans in whom he worked to forecast disease progression in Alzheimer's dementia using structural MRI and survival modeling. He is interested in using imaging and machine learning to inform one another. In his free time, he enjoys reading and meditating.
