Roma Siugzdaite

Researcher @ Ku Leuven

Antwerp, Belgium

Trained as a mathematician and computer scientist, I have extensive experience in statistics, data analysis and modeling in a variety of science disciplines including psychology, neurology and physiology. I have used a range of analytical methods on spatio-temporal data (fMRI, EEG, TMS, MEG) analysis and taught classes on these types of data analysis and statistics. My main research focus is on brain development, brain networks and how they are affected by environment, diseases and disorders.
