Dr Csaba Kozma

Qualifications

• PhD in Computational Neuroscience, Newcastle University, 2026.

• Research Specialist in Computational Neuroscience, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2019-2022.

• Research Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Amsterdam, 2019.

• BSc in Psychology, Leiden University, 2017.

Area of expertise: Electrophysiology, timeseries data anlysis, structural and diffusion MRI, computational neuroscience, data science

Current research
I’m exploring how advanced neuroimaging can address unmet needs in neurological conditions, particularly epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, dementia and traumatic brain injury, by learning directly from clinicians, industry experts, regulators and researchers.

My expertise is in multimodal identification of subtle brain abnormalities across MRI, EEG, and MEG, using scalable pipelines for image and biosignal processing, statistical modeling, and predictive analytics.

Research interests

• Deeptech and commercialisation

• Electrophysiology

• Diffusion and structural MRI

• Normative modelling

• Epilepsy

• Machine learning & deep learning

• Consciousness and sleep
