Viktors Veliks

Viktors Veliks is a Visiting Researcher at Riga Stradins University with a Doctor of Science in Biological Sciences and Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences. His interdisciplinary research integrates neuroscience, analytical chemistry, and public health to address cancer diagnostics and cognitive health challenges.

His educational qualifications include:

• Doctor of Science in Biological Sciences
• Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences

Research interests center on neural activation patterns in athletes using ERP analysis, volatilomic profiling of cancer biomarkers through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and adolescent health risks related to screen time and internet behavior. His work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and well-being through non-invasive diagnostic methods and cognitive intervention strategies.

Recent publications reveal a strong trend in applying analytical chemistry to medical diagnostics, particularly breath and gastric volatilomics for colorectal and gastric cancer detection, coupled with neuropsychological assessment of cognitive performance in athletes and adolescents. This interdisciplinary approach bridges oncology, neuroscience, and digital health.

As an expert contributor, Veliks participated in the European Commission-funded project (2024-2026) investigating physical activity interventions for sport educators' cognitive abilities and sleep quality, and the Latvian Council of Science project (2020-2022) developing screen time risk mitigation programs for adolescents. His grant work emphasizes self-efficacy measurement and comprehensive health assessment frameworks.

Collaborative networks span international oncology and neuroscience teams, with active partnerships in volatilomics research and adolescent cognitive assessment across European institutions.
