Dr. Christoforos Christoforou is an Associate Professor in the Division of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Sciences at St. John’s University’s Collins College of Professional Studies. He serves as Program Director for the Master’s in Computer Science program and leads the Neuro-Intelligence and Innovation Lab. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the CUNY Graduate Center, complemented by advanced degrees from The City College of New York. Education: PhD, Computer Science, City University of New York - The Graduate Center MPhil, Computer Science, City University of New York - The Graduate Center MS, Computer Science, The City College of the City University of New York Research Interests: Dr. Christoforou’s work bridges computer science and neuroscience, focusing on machine learning and AI algorithms to decode neurophysiological signals (EEG) for neurotechnology applications. Key areas include brain-computer interfaces, neuro-cinematics, and understanding neurocognitive processes in reading disorders and spatial cognition. His research has pioneered computational frameworks for studying neural underpinnings of dyslexia and emotional responses to media. Publications Overview: His most recent work (2023–2021) explores neural congruency in phonological processing, EEG-based emotion recognition, and computational models for reading remediation. Earlier contributions include foundational studies on cortically coupled computer vision and predictive modeling of movie audience engagement. Lab & Innovation: The Neuro-Intelligence and Innovation Lab under his direction develops neurotechnology solutions through interdisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing real-world applications like assistive robotics and adaptive educational tools.
