معرفی
Dr. Liam Collins-Jones is a UCL-EPSRC Doctoral Research Fellow at the DOT-HUB, specializing in neuroimaging techniques for studying infant brain development. His work focuses on advancing diffuse optical tomography (DOT) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to map neural connectivity in awake infants. He earned his PhD in 2021, exploring longitudinal brain activation changes in babies using fNIRS and structural data. Beyond academia, he coordinates Student for Kids International Projects (SKIP), a charity improving global child welfare.

Research interests include neonatal neuroimaging, developmental neuroscience, and wearable neuroimaging technologies. His recent work emphasizes longitudinal studies of inhibitory control in infants and optimizing HD-DOT for clinical environments. Notable projects include ANIMATE, a wearable HD-DOT system for newborns, and investigations into bilingualism's effects on infant brain connectivity.
Publications highlight advancements in DOT accuracy, neural correlates of cognitive development, and applications in neurodegenerative diseases. His methods bridge engineering and clinical practice, enabling bedside neuroimaging for infants. Collaborations span biomedical engineering, psychology, and global health initiatives through SKIP.
