معرفی
Jure Demšar, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana. He conducts interdisciplinary research bridging neuroinformatics, collective behaviour, and game development, while actively collaborating with leading institutions worldwide.
Education & Academic Journey:
- PhD studies supported by the prestigious “Inovativna shema” scholarship for promising doctoral researchers.
- Research visits: three months at Newcastle University (Game Lab & Institute of Neuroscience), three months at University of Groningen (Prof. Charlotte K. Hemelrijk’s lab), one month at University of Houston (Computer Graphics and Interactive Media Lab).
Research Interests:
Dr. Demšar’s work converges on four core themes:
- Neuroinformatics & Neuroimaging: development of scalable platforms for multimodal neuroimaging data processing (Qu|Nex, autohrf, bayes4psy R packages).
- Collective Behaviour & Modeling: adaptive agent-based simulations of predator–prey interactions and flocking, evolution of composite tactics.
- Computational Psychiatry: mapping brain–behavior relationships along the psychosis and mood spectra, placebo vs. drug neural signatures.
- Game Development & Personalization: generating personalized game content, GPU-accelerated Bayesian modeling, and recommender systems.
Scientific Awards & Recognition:
- Faculty Award for Outstanding Pedagogic Work, 2017/2018
- Faculty Award for Outstanding Research Achievements, 2017
- Inovativna shema scholarship for promising PhD students
Collaborations & Funding:
Dr. Demšar has established long-standing collaborations with:
- Washington University in St. Louis (Connectome Coordination Facility) – Human Connectome Project
- Yale University (Anticevic Lab) – Qu|Nex platform
- Harvard University (Applied Neuroimaging Statistics Laboratory)
- Internal University of Ljubljana partners: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Sport
Laboratory & Team:
He leads the Bayesian Statistics Project Laboratory, where he mentors students and drives open-source tool development for Bayesian data analysis and neuroimaging workflows.
