Short Bio

I am a Full Professor of Neurotechnology and Computational Psychiatry at University of Tübingen, Germany, and a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry at University of Oslo, Norway. In my research, I investigate pathophysiological changes in brain structure and function and their genetic underpinnings, applying computational tools to large-scale neuroimaging and genetics data.
Personal grants

More than 4 million euro personal research funding acquired, including an ERC Consolidator Grant (~2M €, 2023) and two major grants by the Research Council of Norway (Research Renewal Grant, ~1.2M €, 2021, and a Young Research Talents Grant, ~850k €, 2018).
