Associate professor in translational neuroimaging working at the intersection of brain imaging, statistics, and clinical applications. My work focuses on developing robust, reproducible analysis methods for MRI, PET and EEG data, and applying them to patient populations. I am also interested in open science and contribute to community-wide standards such as BIDS, and created PublicnEUro.eu.
