Research Preference

As a computer science student i thought that a research related to algorithms will be good. But because of the events this past few days. Particularly the crisis that is arising not only in our country but the crisis world wide I think its best to create research that aims in creating innovative solutions for current problems. How ever as a computer science student in this university it is also important not to stray from the field of my studies. Thus is best to incorporate Information Technology with other fields in creating an output that will benefit a lot of people.

The research I read was about using Information technology in medical applications particularly for brain studies. The title of the paper is "Medical Grid: Using Grid Technology for Brain Studies". In the said study they are trying to use the existing technologies and algorithms to meet the growing demand for information storage and computational demands of brain studies. They are trying to develop this to use it with current brain testing facilities such as MRI and fMRI. From that context alone i can say that computing research is crossing over to medical researches to provide faster and more reliable systems that will help prolong, study and save lives.
