Armita Golkar

Armita Golkar is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Stockholm University and serves as Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) of the research project 'Characterization of the mechanical tissue properties of the brain in the developing brain with magnetic resonance elastography.' She is also affiliated with Digital Futures, a cross-disciplinary research center focused on advancing digital technologies to address societal challenges. Her contact details include +46 8 16 38 15 and armita.golkar@psychology.su.se.

Her research focuses on understanding brain tissue mechanics in developmental stages using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a non-invasive imaging technique. This work intersects neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and pediatric neurology, aiming to characterize brain tissue properties critical for diagnosing and understanding neurological disorders in children.

As part of Digital Futures, she collaborates with institutions like KTH Royal Institute of Technology and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden to develop innovative digital solutions. Her affiliation with this center underscores her commitment to interdisciplinary research with industrial and societal impact.

No specific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Her current project emphasizes foundational research in brain mechanics, potentially paving the way for clinical applications in neurodevelopmental studies.
