Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK, focused on developing and combining optical instrumentation, computational methods, and biophysical modeling to explore tissue physiology, with emphasis on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and related techniques. Some key areas of expertise include clinical applications of fNIRS and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), brain connectivity and its underlying complexity, and the biophysical modelling of neurovascular coupling.
