Dam Le Minh Quan

DAM Le Minh Quan is a research intern at the Artificial Intelligence and Medical Sciences (AIMS) research group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium, working under the supervision of Prof. Guy Nagels. He received his B.Sc. degree in Artificial Intelligence from the VNU University of Engineering and Technology (VNU-UET), Vietnam, in 2026. His graduation thesis focused on estimating brain structural connectivity in multiple sclerosis (MS) from routine MRI. His research interests include medical image analysis, brain connectivity, machine learning and AI in clinical sciences. 

 

His current research builds on this work. Diffusion MRI, the usual way to measure brain connections, is not always available in clinical practice. He is therefore developing methods that estimate each patient's structural connectivity from routine MRI, by combining a healthy reference connectome with information about lesions and brain atrophy. He is also studying whether machine learning can make these estimates more accurate and more useful for understanding the disease.
