Mohammadreza Khodaei is a postdoctoral research fellow in the DSN Lab in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina and the Winston Center on Technology and Brain Development. He earned his Ph.D. from the Virginia Tech–Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, where he trained in the Laboratory for Complex Brain Networks (LCBN) under the mentorship of Dr. Paul Laurienti, Dr. Sean Simpson, and Dr. Heather Shappell. His research focuses on developing and applying advanced methods to study both static and dynamic brain networks across diverse populations. He recently developed MIND-Map, a toolbox that employs a hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) to identify and compare dynamic brain states. Mohammadreza’s current work aims to identify how prolonged social media exposure affects the dynamic brain states in young adults.
