I am a postdoctoral researcher in the MMNI group with a background in cognitive science and artificial intelligence. My main research interests rely in the AI-driven generation of biomarkers from existing patient data to not only better understand neurodegenerative diseases, but also to enrich the diagnostic and prognostic process thereof. I am also involved in the automation and standardization of data operations in our lab.
