Areas of Research / Professional Expertise
-
Her research interest includes medical image analysis using soft computing. As medical images are not equally and well illuminated, for more accurate diagnosis, fuzzy/intuitionistic fuzzy/Type 2 fuzzy set/ and also recently neutrosophic set theory are being explored where she extracts lesions/tumor from an ultrasound/CT scan images as well as mammogram images almost accurately. She gives mathematical model using these advanced fuzzy sets for better diagnosis.
