Mangor Pedersen

I am an Associate Professor at Auckland University of Technology (AUT - Department of Psychology and Neuroscience) and the Associate Head of Research at the AUT School of Clinical Sciences. My research interest is developing and validating new technologies for quantifying human brain networks using brain imaging methods, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), complex network science and dynamical systems theory. These approaches have significantly contributed to our ability to model brain dysfunction in people with epilepsy and traumatic brain injury. I currently hold the HRC Emerging Researcher Grant. I am the AI lead of the $30 million Australian Epilepsy Project and a core member of the AUT Traumatic Brain Injury Network and the AUT BioDesign Lab. I received the AUT Excellence Award Emerging Researcher in 2021; the University of Melbourne early-career fellowship in 2018; the American Epilepsy Society Young Investigator Award in 2017; and the John Milne Neuroscience Award for best departmental PhD thesis at The University of Melbourne in 2016. I have presented my work at multiple international conferences and have been invited to present my work at universities in Asia, Europe, and the US.
