Marwan Abdellah
Marwan Abdellah is a Doctoral Assistant and Scientific Visualisation Engineer in the Blue Brain Project (BBP) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. His current research focuses on building computational models of brain imaging technologies using physically plausible methods. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. with Honours from the Biomedical Engineering Department, School of Engineering at Cairo University in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Marwan joined the Visualisation Team in the BBP in 2011 and led the multimedia generation workflows, and also contributed to the development of the software applications required for the interactive visualisation of the neocortical digital models. His research interests include Scientific Visualisation, Physically-based Rendering, Computer Graphics and Modelling, Medical Imaging, High Performance Computing and GPU computing.
