Bryn Lloyd
Bryn is the project leader in computational phantoms and heads the Virtual Population team. He has experience in unstructured mesh generation, finite element modeling, medical image analysis, and computer graphics. He has been leading the development of morphing and registration of anatomical phantoms, and the creation of the NEUROMAN models at IT'IS. Recently, his focus has been on personalized modeling for brain stimulation, EEG, etc., where he has established a state-of-the-art machine learning solution to segment patient MRI to obtain detailed personalized head models.
Bryn has more than 15 years of experience as a scientific software engineer and has been a core developer of ZMT's Sim4Life simulation platform since its inception. He is the lead architect of Sim4Life's analysis framework and has been the tech lead for 3D modeling (CAD/mesh/image processing). He has contributed to many other parts of Sim4Life, including the thermal and acoustic solvers, mesh generation, 3D visualization, and UI components.
