About me

  • PhD Student in neuroimaging interested in multilayer brain connectivity, multimodal imaging in AD
  • Developer of the BRAPH 2 software

 

In 2019 I obtained a Double Master’s Degree in Systems, Control and Robotics at KTH (Stockholm) and Telecommunications Engineering at UPC (Barcelona).

Research description

I am working with brain connectivity methods and their application to Alzheimer’s disease. My project consists of integrating different neuroimaging modalities of subjects with Alzheimer's disease into a single multilayer brain network, which can be used to assess the interaction between distinct pathological processes.

My supervisor is Assoc. Prof. Joana B. Pereira and my co-supervisors are Prof. Eric Westman and PhD Erika Bereczki.
