Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jake Qualls' research focuses on the application of advanced computational methods, particularly deep learning and neural networks, to medical imaging for disease diagnosis and segmentation. His work includes developing ensemble U-Net models for kidney tumor segmentation using CT images and exploring the use of transfer learning for COVID-19 diagnosis from chest X-rays.

Qualls also investigates the combination of brain MRI imaging with other data types to improve Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. He has studied the severity of COVID-19 in patients admitted to emergency rooms using chest X-ray images. His research extends to identifying differentially expressed genes within large sample sets. Qualls is a Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF grant totaling $1,999,484, focused on understanding invasion and disease ecology and evolution through computational data education. He collaborates with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Jason Causey and Jennifer Fowler, and with Dakota S. Dale at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
