Multimodal neuroimaging for schizophrenia (current)
My postdoctoral work at the Complex Networks & Brain Dynamics Group, ICS CAS Prague focuses on building computational models that characterise and predict clinical outcomes in schizophrenia. I work with structural and functional MRI, combining graph-based representations with deep learning to capture inter-individual variability across multi-site datasets. A central challenge is generalising models trained on one clinical site to others — which motivates my work on domain adaptation and semi-supervised learning for neuroimaging.
Current projects:
- SPNN-SZS (active) — Semi-Supervised Pre-trained Neural Networks for Schizophrenia Subtyping (MSCA-CZ, 2026-2027)
- Population-graphs (completed) — Population-graph approaches for multi-modal modelling (CAS AV21, 2025)
- Functional outcomes (completed) — Predicting functional outcomes (NU21, 2024)
EEG and graph neural networks for Alzheimer’s disease (PhD)
During my PhD at Coventry University and A*STAR (Singapore), I developed graph neural network models for EEG-based characterisation of Alzheimer’s disease. This included designing novel functional connectivity measures using bispectral analysis, building explainable GNN classifiers with adaptive gating mechanisms, and conducting a comprehensive survey of GNN methods for EEG classification. A recurring theme was making models interpretable — understanding not just whether a classifier works, but which brain regions and frequency interactions it relies on.
