Dimitrios Pantazis, PhD Research Assistant Professor Signal & Image Processing Institute Department of Electrical Engineering University of Southern California Email: pantazis (at) sipi.usc.edu   Welcome I am research assistant professor at the Signal and Image Processing Institute of the Electrical Engineering department of the University of Southern California (USC). Since 2001, I am a member of the Biomedical Imaging Research Lab, led by Prof. Richard M. Leahy. I am also affiliated with the Brain Creativity Institute at USC.

My research interests lie in the area of signal and image processing and its application to brain imaging. I develop methods for the statistical analysis of biomedical data with random field, permutation and bootstrap theory, and explore brain cognitive networks with multivariate statistical inference, general linear modeling, and other techniques. I use Magnetoencephalography, Electroencephalography, functional magnetic resonance and diffusion imaging to image human brain function and anatomy.

I was born in Serres, a town in northern Greece. I got a 5-year diploma in electrical engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and a M.S and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California.
