A. Wodeyar

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Advanced Computing Science in the Faculty of Science and Engineering since August 2024. Before, I worked in a range of departments, getting my PhD in a Cognitive Science department alongside a Master's in Statistics at the University of California, Irvine. In my first postdoc at Boston University, I worked on methods for real-time processing of data for neuroscience applications. In my second postdoc at Mass General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, I got deep into sleep neuroscience and epilepsy, demonstrating with statistical models how epileptic activity disrupts the healthy electrical rhythms of sleep.

Now, in my research, I bring together my background in computer science, statistics and neuroscience to generate methods that allow us to better understand complex systems. This has significant application in neuroscience and will hopefully enable us to move pathological brain dynamics towards healthier states.
