Farras is an Assistant Specialist in the Raj Lab. Farras’s interests lie in graph theory and its applications to brain modeling, and in particular in the dynamics between functional and structural networks, and how to obtain one from the other. His work on predicting function from structure via graph diffusion was well received in the neuroscience community. Farras is additionally interested in the emerging subjects of graph signal processing, graph wavelets, and their applications to brain networks. He previously worked on reconstruction of near infrared spectroscopy images, and prior to that pursued research on wavelet frames design. His orthogonal nearly symmetric wavelets are included in the Matlab Wavelets Toolbox. Farras is a pianist and a published and exhibited photographer.
