Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich

Research Group Statistical Genetics, Translational Research in Psychiatry

Topic: Multivariate methods for analyzing Combined Multimodal Omics- and multimodal neuroimaging records.
a) Unsupervised clustering method using structural brain imaging data (Voxel-Based Morphometry clustering) to define volume based networks. Automated and purely data driven grey matter parcellation for developing VBM (voxel-based morphometry) based atlas system
b) Mixed model-based clustering to detect the subtypes in the depression data.
c) An unsupervised clustering approach to detect subtypes in the depression using functional MRI datasets.

Student Research Assistant

Max Planck Institute for Bio Cybernetics, Tübingen

Bio Cybernetics

a) Project 1 : Worked as a student research assistant in the topic of “Statistical analysis of netfMRI data” by applying different machine learning and statistical analysis algorithm.
b)Project 2: Worked as a student assistant in 9.4 T MRI scan for developing proper parameter for image registration as well as image segmentation by using MIPAV, SPM, FSL software toolboxes. Learned the MIPAV and LIPSIA environment and tried various data to verify the registration and segmentation results.

Master Thesis Student

Max Planck Institute for Bio Cybernetics, Tübingen

Bio Cybernetics

Worked as a master thesis student in the topic- the viability of EEG measurement of in 8 degrees of freedom vehicle simulator by using EEGLAB, ERPLAB and MATLAB programming. My thesis work was related to analyzing mental workload by using signal processing techniques and classifying them using support vector machine classifier and also measuring signal to noise ratio in a motion simulator during different motion conditions and mental workload measuring tasks (auditory oddball task, auditory n-back task)
