معرفی
T. Dorina Papageorgiou is an Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, with cross-appointments in Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Neuroscience, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (Quantitative & Computational Biosciences). She also holds an Adjunct Assistant Professor position in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Rice University.
Education:
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
- MHSc in Health Sciences from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
- BA in Psychology from University of Georgia
- Internships at University of Maryland and Baylor College of Medicine
- Postdoctoral Fellowships at MD Anderson and Baylor College of Medicine
Research Focus: Dr. Papageorgiou's work centers on neuroimaging and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) to study adaptive plasticity in neurological conditions. Her lab develops iRTfMRI nFb (individualized real-time fMRI neurofeedback) to bypass lesioned pathways in patients with cortical blindness, speech impairments, and chronic pain. This approach leverages machine learning and MR-compatible EEG to analyze spatiotemporal brain relationships.
Publications: Her research spans functional MRI optimization, neurorehabilitation, and computational neuroscience, with key contributions to visual cortex plasticity, speech rate control, and pain matrix network analysis. She also edited the comprehensive volume Advanced Brain Neuroimaging Topics in Health and Disease - Methods and Applications (2014).
- Scientific Awards:
- Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN)
- Aurelia Murphy Killian Endowment In Public Health
Labs & Teams: She leads the Investigational Targeted Brain Neurotherapeutics Laboratory at Baylor, supported by the McNair Medical Institute. The lab focuses on neuroimaging and computational modeling to advance neurofeedback interventions for stroke and traumatic brain injury.
