Vince D Calhoun

Dr. Vince D Calhoun is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He is the founding director of the tri-institutional Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS), collaborating with Georgia State University and Emory University. His work focuses on advancing neuroimaging analytics for mental and neurological disorder biomarkers through big data and neuroinformatics tools.

Dr. Calhoun holds a BSEE from the University of Kansas (1991), M.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Information Systems from Johns Hopkins University (1993, 1996), and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (2002). He previously served as Director of Medical Image Analysis at the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center, Associate Professor at Yale University, and Distinguished Professor at the University of New Mexico.

His research interests span machine learning, multimodal neuroimaging (MRI/EEG/MEG), neurogenomics, and functional connectivity analysis. Notable contributions include developing NeuroMark ICA frameworks and federated analytics via COINSTAC, advancing schizophrenia and addiction biomarker research.
