PhD project 1 Site effects in multi-site neuroimaging studies
Normative modelling is an emerging method in neuroimaging to model individualized differences beyond group average comparisons. Normative modelling maps the variation of one dimension onto a second, normalizing for the variation in this dimension. In this project I develop and test a version of a normative model using a hierarchial Gaussian process to use normative modelling for site effect correction in multi-site neuroimaging.

PhD project 2 Normative modelling in depression
Both the treatment and the neuro-anatomy underlying depression are little understood. This can be attributed to the heterogeneity of depression, combined with the research approach of group average comparisons which cover many inter-individual differences. Normative modelling allows to map variation at an individual level as z-scores of deviations. I studied the neuroanatomical deviations of individuals with

PhD project 3 Comparing multi-site harmonisation methods
With raising awareness about the multi-site effect problem, several methods have been developed to correct for this issue. But which method should be used in which situation? What are the exact mathematical underpinnings of each method? This is what we are trying to discuss in this paper.
