Naga Karthik Enamundram

At Moraine Lake, Banff

Hi there! I’m Naga, a third-year biomed PhD student at NeuroPoly, Polytechnique Montréal. I’m also affiliated to Mila - Québec AI Institute. My research mainly involves developing deep learning-based methods for medical image analysis using real-world clinical data. In particular, I am interested in the analysis of spinal cord magnetic resonance (MR) images. My current projects include automatic segmentation of spinal cord lesions in spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis (MS) and synthesizing healthy/pathological MR images using diffusion models. In the past, I have also worked on the application of continual learning methods for brain MS lesion segmentation.

When I am not working, you’ll find me either running , hiking , or reading .
