I am a PhD student of the Institute for Clinical Neuroscience and Medical Psychology at the Universitätsklinikum Düsseldorf (Germany), supervised by Prof. Esther Florin, and funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. I currently investigate multivariate causality estimation methods and their limitations when applied to whole-brain electrophysiology. Overcoming these limitations motivates the development of a method leveraging anatomical information derived from Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the brain. This method makes possible further investigation of brain dynamics in both healthy and neurodegenerative patients. Specifically, I aim at improving our understanding of brain dynamics during rest, and how they are affected by Parkinson’s disease.
I am personally interested in many topics, among which are Neurophysiology, Neuronal Electrophysiology, Causality estimation, Brain connectivity, Brain imaging, Brain interfacing, Evolution Strategies, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Unsupervised ML, and data-driven methods of analysis in general.
