Dr. Jiyang Jiang is a researcher in neuroimaging and brain ageing. He is currently appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (2016-). Dr. Jiang completed a PhD in Psychiatry degree from UNSW (2016). He also hold a Master of Professional Engineering (USYD, 2010) and a Bachelor of Engineering (2008) degrees. He has broad research interests in neuroimaging and ageing brains, including brain strucutral and functional network characteristics in cognitive reserve, imaging neuroinflammation, and application of machine learning in neuroimage segmentations and disease prediction.

Research Interests
- Cerebrovascular lesions in ageing
- Lesion segmentations using machine learning techniques (convolutional neural network, recurrent neural network)
- Magnetic partical imaging in ageing brains
Contributions to Research Community
- I published a software package for neuroimaging data post-processing, called CHeBA Neuroimaging Software (CNS). It can be downloaded from here. One of the main modules is UBO Detector (see methodology paper) which is a machine learning-based, fully automated pipeline for the segmentation of white matter hyperintensities (WMH). TOolbox for Probabilistic MApping of Lesions (TOPMAL) is an extention of UBO Detector to map WMH lesions to strategic white matter fibre tracts to enable lesion symptom mapping studies (see TOPMAL paper).
