He was a co-founder of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM), a multinational effort funded by the U.S. These methodologies are used in a many network collaborations on abnormal pediatric development (MAVAN, IBIS, NeuroDevNet, GUSTO) and multi-centre initiatives to investigate Alzheimer’s Disease (AddNeuroMed and NeuGrid).Įvans was principal investigator in the Montreal Consortium for Brain Imaging Research (MCBIR), which was founded in 2000 with a $35 million award from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. Methodologies including (i) web-based imaging/behavioral database, LORIS (ii) automated image analysis pipelines, and (iii) brain-behaviour correlation analysis. This provides a web-accessible reference database of neuroanatomical and behavioral maturation. He is Scientific Director of McGill’s $84 million CFREF project, “Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives.”Įvans heads the Data Coordinating Center for a large NIH multi-centre MRI study of normal pediatric development. He is the sole Canadian participant in the $1.1 billion European Human Brain Project, and is a co-principal investigator of the Big Brain project. He is co-director of the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics and Mental Health and is Principal Investigator of CBRAIN, a pan-Canadian project to integrate Canadian brain research with the Compute Canada high-performance computing grid. In addition, our degree programs complement the more technical courses of study offered at Illinois Tech, making them good choices for students wishing to pursue a dual degree.Alan Evans is a James McGill Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Psychiatry and Biomedical Engineering at McGill University since 2009, and a researcher in the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) at The Neuro. He holds the Victor Dahdaleh Chair in Neurosciences. Our majors also give students excellent preparation for law school and advanced degrees in many of the social and applied sciences. Whether seeking careers in management consulting, marketing, survey and design research, higher education, sustainable development, urban planning, social work, diplomatic services, local, or state or federal government, our students benefit from the solid preparation our courses provide. Our students receive the rigorous, multidisciplinary training they will need to embark on a wide range of fulfilling careers in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. We work hand-in-hand to help students find the internships, externships, and jobs that will provide them with a real advantage in the post-graduate marketplace. We can even customize programs of study to suit an individual’s interests.
We encourage our students to find the questions and modes of inquiry that fascinate them. Our majors get special treatment and develop close relationships with their academic advisers, professors, and career counselors. We also conduct applied research where we use theories, methods, and findings to consciously inform and evaluate group-level decisions and practices. Our faculty are engaged in an exciting range of research on science, technology, and the environment designed objects and the built environment urban affairs international migration American and comparative politics and policy analysis. Social scientists conduct basic research into fundamental processes, concepts, and interactions.
