My research focuses on understanding the heterogeneity of psychiatric disorders using computational approaches. The current symptom-based taxonomy of psychiatric disorders can be improved by combining advanced neuroimaging techniques. My current research primarily encompasses two levels of inquiry that aim to: (a) accurately model brain dynamics and leverage the spatiotemporal information for discovering biomarkers which can distinguish psychiatric disorders. (b) find the meaningful psychiatric subtypes and establish reliable links between subtype and treatment. I also developed a series of deep learning tools for mental disorder classification and subtype discovery based on MRI/EEG.
