About me

  • Working in Grégoria Kalpouzos group on the ElastAge project as
    amanuens/teaching assistant.
    I am studying Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuropsychology and Consciousness at
    the University of Skövde. My dream is to do my own research one day,
    discover what consciousness is, write a book and get the Nobel Price. When I
    am not studying or working I go to the gym, make cocktails and watch
    Formula1.

Research

  • I am working as an assistant in Grégoria Kalpouzos group with the *ElastAge
    project *where she is Principal Investigator (co-PI: Jonas Persson
    [1]). Text below borrowed from Grégoria Kalpouzos page [2].
    /We investigate the biomechanical properties of the brain in cognitively
    healthy individuals and in patients with mild cognitive impairment using
    Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). Previous research has shown that in
    normal and pathological aging, the brain tissue becomes "softer". We
    investigate the molecular and microstructural neural underpinnings of the
    viscoelastic brain parameters, and relate those to brain activity and
    cognitive performance. This is a collaborative project between ARC/KI, the
    Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm/Division of Biomedical Imaging
    (KTH), the Memory Clinic of Karolinska University Hospital Solna, and
    Stockholm University/Department of Psychology./
