Prospective PhD Applicant – AI Expertise for fMRI Research

[Moslem Asgari]

Dear HCP colleagues,

I hope you are well.

I am a graduate seeking a PhD opportunity at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroimaging, particularly in AI-driven analysis of large-scale fMRI datasets such as those from the Human Connectome Project.

My primary expertise lies in advanced AI and deep learning methodologies. I have hands-on experience with:

• Transformer-based architectures

• Representation learning and multimodal modeling

• Graph neural networks

• Agentic AI and multi-agent system design

• Fine-tuning and adapting large language and large vision models

• Designing scalable AI pipelines for high-dimensional data

I am particularly interested in applying modern AI frameworks to functional connectivity modeling, temporal dynamics of fMRI signals, and predictive brain network analysis.

I would be grateful to know whether any research group within this community is currently considering PhD students with strong AI backgrounds to contribute to neuroimaging research.

I would be happy to share my CV and further discuss potential research alignment.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Moslem
