Summary
Candida Ustine is a biomedical engineer and neuroscience researcher with 14 years of experience specializing in clinical and research neuroimaging for epilepsy. As the principal engineer in the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at Froedtert Hospital/Medical College of Wisconsin, she designs and implements MEG, EEG and fMRI acquisition and signal-processing pipelines that directly inform surgical planning and patient care. She blends hands-on clinical responsibilities—language mapping, SEEG electrode modeling, and patient-facing education—with research leadership on multi-site projects like the Epilepsy Connectome Project and pelvic pain connectivity studies. Proficient in Python, MATLAB, AFNI and FSL, she has developed standalone MEG processing codebases and novel MRI-based methods for identifying subcortical targets such as the PAG. Known for translating complex analyses into clear clinical reports and trainings, she mentors trainees and presents findings to interdisciplinary teams. Her work uniquely bridges bedside clinical impact and methodological innovation in neuroimaging.
