Kristoffer Hougaard Madsen

Kristoffer Hougaard Madsen is a Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in Visual Computing and Cognitive Systems. His work focuses on brain function mapping using functional MRI (fMRI), with expertise in fMRI data analysis, study design, and noise reduction techniques.

• Education: Civil Engineer (Bioinformatics & Complex Systems) from DTU (2004)
• External Position: Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre (since 2008)

His research spans neuroimaging, brain network modeling, and neuromodulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). He supervises PhD projects on topics such as individual brain circuit modeling, cerebellum organization in schizophrenia, and cooperation behavior in children.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to electric field optimization, time-dependent diffusion imaging for tumors, and high-resolution mapping of brain structures. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

He collaborates extensively with institutions like Copenhagen University Hospital and contributes to interdisciplinary research in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis) and psychiatric disorders.
