Bio
Dr. Wei Zhang is an assistant professor in the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at Augusta University. Our primary research interest concentrates on interdisciplinary studies of state-of-art machine learning and computational neuroscience, more specifically identifying functional connectivity networks via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). We have contributed to the field by advancing the machine learning approach and cutting-edge optimization techniques to investigate the hierarchical functional connectivity in humans, as well as applying innovative approaches to clinical translational application on neurodegenerative disease.
