معرفی
Dr. Hayriye Cagnan is a Senior Lecturer (equivalent to Associate Professor) at Imperial College London and Associate Unit Member at the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Amsterdam and Philips Research Laboratories (2010), an MSc in Engineering and Physical Science in Medicine from Imperial College London, and a BS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Cornell University as a Fulbright Scholar.
Her research develops theory-driven strategies for selective modulation of brain rhythms using:
- Theoretical disease models and stimulation paradigms
- Dynamic neuromodulation approaches
- Wearable devices for remote therapy optimization
- Advanced signal processing techniques
Her recent publications (2015-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on tremor pathophysiology, neural oscillations in Parkinson's disease, and advanced brain stimulation technologies. Research employs computational modeling, EEG, magnetoencephalography, and both invasive/non-invasive stimulation techniques.
Awards & Fellowships:
- Fulbright Scholarship (2000-2004)
- British Chevening Scholarship (2004)
- MRC Skills Development Fellowship (2015)
- MRC Career Development Award (2018)
Dr. Cagnan leads an independent research group originally established at the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit in 2018, maintaining close collaborations with clinical neuroscientists and engineers to translate basic research into therapeutic applications.
