Sumit Roy

Sumit Roy is a Research Fellow at the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IfADo) in Dortmund, Germany, where he works within the Neuromodulation research group under Prof. Dr. Michael Nitsche in the Psychology and Neurosciences department. His contact details include email roy@ifado.de and phone +49 231 1084-473 at the institute's Ardeystr. 67 address.

His primary research focuses on neuromodulation techniques including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), investigating their effects on neural plasticity, cognitive function, and behavioral control. This work intersects with occupational ergonomics and human performance optimization, leveraging neuroimaging methodologies to study interindividual differences in brain responses. The Neuromodulation group operates within IfADo's interdisciplinary framework spanning ergonomics, immunology, and toxicology research domains.

As part of IfADo's scientific staff, Roy contributes to the institute's mission of translating neuroscience findings into workplace applications through collaborations across central scientific units including the Animal Laboratory and Bioanalytics department. The institute maintains strong knowledge transfer channels with policy advisors and industry partners while supporting career development through dedicated programs for students, apprentices, and early-career researchers.
