Background
Dr. Brandt has a bachelors degree in physics with a masters and doctoral degree in biomedical engineering. He has completed post doctoral trainingin cognitive neuroscience and biomedical signal processing. He was a faculty member of the UTHSC-H Medical School from 1990 - 2000. He serves on various departmental committees and is the director of both the UTHSC Center for Computational Biomedicine and the Neurosignal analysis Laboratory. He is a member of the Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honor Society, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Society for Psychophysiological Research.
Dr. Brandt has extensive research in computational methodologies for measuring both normal and anomalous pediatric brain development from magnetic resonance scans. His lab has NIH funded research studies of normal brain development in children and various brain disorders including traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, autism and spina bifida. Dr. Brandt is also involved in biosignal/image analysis and computational modeling/simulation of biomedical processes such as brain electrical activity, viral dynamics in the body, and development of the T-cells.
