He was awarded the Imaging Software & Methods for Mapping Brain Development. Grant # HD31715. Title: The Human Brain Project: Phase I Feasibility Studies. Senior Programmer and Co-Investigator in 1994. He was awarded the Masters of Science awarded With Honors in 1995 for Computer Science.
Research Summary:
Joseph Hennessey is interested in the visualization and quantitative analysis of MR brain data. He writes the programs he develops in java so that the software can be used on a wide variety of computer hardware. The software is licensed under the GPL license, so researchers around the world can build on the work. Joseph Hennessey is interested in taking advantage of the recent advances in graphics hardware to enable complex, high-quality real time visualization of brain data.
