Om mig
Next to being a research fellow at KI, I am also currently a PhD student in the BEAT research team (Czech Technical University, CTU) under the supervision of prof. Olga Stepankova. I have a background in engineering with a degree in Cybernetics, robotics and biomedical engineering from the Czech Technical University. Next to my research in neuroimaging, I also enjoy teaching engineering courses, preparing creative teaching materials and writing textbooks.
Forskningsbeskrivning
The focus of my research lies in applying advanced machine learning methods to structural, diffusion, and functional head MRI data and extracting useful patterns of the underlying pathology. The main goal is to investigate diffusion MRI data and state-of-the-art processing techniques in the context of Alzheimer’s disease but also in healthy aging and link its parameters to well-established diagnostic markers (CSF biomarkers, brain atrophy, psychological profile, etc). I am particularly interested in the role of the human cholinergic system (basal forebrain and its radiations) in Alzheimer’s disease dementia, mild cognitive disorder, and subjective cognitive decline.
