Will Woods

Will Woods is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences at Swinburne University of Technology. His research focuses on neurosciences, clinical sciences, and biological psychology, with a particular emphasis on neuroimaging techniques and their applications in understanding brain dynamics and mental health disorders. He holds a PhD and has supervised multiple doctoral candidates in areas such as cardiovascular health neuroimaging, brain pathways regulating blood pressure, and neurostructural subtypes in schizophrenia.

His research interests include stress physiology, cortical connectivity, conscious states, and advanced neuroimaging methodologies. Recent publications highlight advancements in Kalman filter optimization for neurophysiological imaging and the identification of neurostructural subgroups in schizophrenia using novel algorithms. Woods collaborates extensively with researchers in neuroscience and clinical fields, contributing to interdisciplinary projects.

He currently supervises PhD candidates investigating topics like COMT genotype effects on brain connectivity, sex-related brain differences in psychosis, and autism-schizophrenia spectrum disorder convergence. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his work reflects a strong focus on translational neuroscience.
