Kedar Madi, PhD

Kedar Madi joined the Darby lab as a postdoctoral research fellow in October 2025. He received his Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 2018 with a minor in Neuroscience before attending the Wake Forest School of Medicine, where he earned his Master of Science (2021) and PhD (2025) in biomedical engineering. Kedar’s research work focuses on neuroimaging pipeline development and morphometry (shape analysis) of brain structures, particularly the hippocampus, in the context of neurodegenerative disease. His current projects include the study of brain regions functionally connected to sites of neural atrophy and tau deposition in Huntington’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease, respectively. Additional projects and research interests include machine learning classification and shape analysis of brain regions in frontotemporal dementia.
