Kangjoo Lee, Ph.D.
I am a computational neuroscientist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Florida International University in Miami. My work focuses on developing advanced quantitative methods for multimodal neuroimaging and identifying neuroimaging-based markers of neurological and psychiatric disorders to support early risk detection and individualized treatment planning.
