Hi Rich,

Here is the information you had asked for -

I have started my 3rd year as a PhD student. My research addresses some 
of the geometric modeling issues that arise in the area of medical 
imaging. In particular, I am working on techniques for creating  
accurate B-spline representations of complex anatomical objects in the 
human body. Statistical analysis is extensively used in the area of 
medical imaging to retrieve anatomical shapes and perform various kinds 
of analysis tasks on the shapes thus obtained. Through this class, I 
would like to get a better understanding of the statistical theory 
involved so that I may better interpret the relevant literature on 
medical image analysis and possibly apply such analysis in my research.

Please do let me know if you need anything else.

Suraj.
