Research
My research aims to understand the principles of human brain connectivity, the role connectomics has in brain function and dysfunction, and the associated genetic components in various disorders and mental conditions. Using a multidisciplinary approach, I work to develop graph theory analysis methods and study brain development and evolutionary adaptations on cellular and macroscale levels.
