WEBSITE(S)| Dr. Merényi's website

Dr. Merényi focuses on understanding the structure of large, complex, high-dimensional data with neural computational intelligence techniques. She develops theoretical and simulation tools to discover and express relevant details of relationships in complicated data. Her research is motivated by real problems in Earth and planetary science, astronomy, and medicine. Her collaborative applications are in information extraction from remote sensing hyperspectral imagery, resource mapping, discovery, environmental diagnostics on planetary surfaces; generation of brain maps from functional MRI, analysis of clinical data; discovery from 21st century astronomical “big data”.
