Adeel Razi

Adeel Razi is a Professor of Computational Neuroscience at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Australia. He directs the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory, focusing on multiscale Bayesian methods and active inference frameworks to decode brain dynamics in health and disease.

• Education: B.E. in Electrical Engineering (Gold Medal, N.E.D. University, Pakistan); M.Sc. in Communications Engineering (RWTH Aachen, Germany); Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (University of New South Wales, Australia, 2012)
• Postdoc: Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, University College London (2012-2018)

Research Themes span three pillars: (1) Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) of brain pathologies using fMRI/dMRI/EEG; (2) Designing active inference-based artificial neural networks; (3) Psychedelic-assisted therapies for psychiatric disorders via neuroimaging. His work bridges NeuroAI, Neurodegenerative Disease Modeling, and Consciousness Studies.

Recent Publications emphasize context-dependent brain activity under psychedelics, neuroimaging tool development (e.g., Network Correspondence Toolbox), and Bayesian frameworks for spiking networks. Collaborations span UNSW, UCL, CIFAR, and clinical partners like Wellcome Leap.
