Luke A. Hammond develops computational and imaging tools for analyzing brain structure and neural connectivity, including software for automated detection and quantification of dendritic spines (small structures on neurons involved in synaptic connections) and 3D brain/spinal cord atlases. His work supports neuroscience research on topics such as memory encoding, neurodegenerative disease, and comparative brain anatomy across species, often in collaboration with labs studying specific biological questions.
