معرفی
Theodore Huppert is a Research Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in neuroimaging methodologies. His primary affiliation is with the MRI research center, where he leads the imaging core team for the Human Connectome Project. He holds dual email addresses (huppert1@pitt.edu and huppertt@upmc.edu) and focuses on developing multimodal imaging technologies such as MRI, MEG, EEG, and NIRS. His work emphasizes cross-validation of neuroimaging modalities and clinical applications in Alzheimer’s research, pediatric neuroimaging, and movement disorders.
Education: PhD from Harvard University and BSc from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His lab, based at www.huppertlab.net, pioneers diffuse optical spectroscopy techniques and has developed open-source analysis tools (NIRS-Toolbox) with over 1,600 users. He is a founding board member of the Society for Functional NIRS.
Research Interests: Multimodal neuroimaging integration, portable imaging solutions, and clinical applications of NIRS. Key projects include real-time fMRI methods, concurrent NIRS/MEG/EEG/fMRI experiments, and pediatric brain imaging. His work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, emphasizing non-invasive brain monitoring.
Grants & Collaborations: Principal Investigator for U01-AG051197 (Human Connectome Project) and collaborates globally on NIRS applications in neurology and psychiatry. His recent publications focus on dopamine’s role in gait resilience, amygdala neurofeedback for depression, and NIRS-based connectivity analysis.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Huppert Lab at Pitt, emphasizing methodological innovation and translational research in clinical neuroimaging.
