Sharing the things I've learned, the stories of inspiring people, and the thoughts that might lead to a better future.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
Manfred Eigen
The brain’s structure, despite its complexity, adheres to intricate principles of connectivity and morphology that can be explored through advanced neuroimaging, computational methods, and graph-theoretical approaches.
In our recent work, we utilized the Morphometric INverse Divergence (MIND) network to analyze subtle cortical structural changes in brain networks, while also unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying cortical morphology and associated topological abnormalities.

The idea that, in time, the mysteries of this vast inner ‘cosmos’ might be understood, piece by piece, by those daring enough to seek, fuels my excitement for this field.
If you start drawing a line on one side, you’ll eventually return to your starting point but on the other side. The journey is continuous, with no clear beginning or end.

Like having a conversation with an old friend who I hope to meet someday.
This book challenges perceptions with concrete data, unveiling the truth about our world’s progress and inviting a more hopeful perspective.
As a scientist reveals the surprising benefits of a good night’s sleep, you’ll never think of your bed in the same way.
Some people in the world are fortunate enough to be born into families with food on the table, a roof over their heads, and the opportunities to read, learn, and dream. But for some others, these basic needs are out of reach.
Each act of kindness, each effort to alleviate suffering, however small, sends forth a ripple of hope.
