Biography

I obtained my PhD in 2005 and started as a faculty member at Newcastle University before joining the University of Nottingham in 2021. From 2010 to 2012, I was visiting professor at Seoul National University. I am currently Chair of Neuroinformatics UK, Chair of the Neuroinformatics Special Interest Group of the British Neuroscience Association, and Chair of the NHS CHAIN Technology Sub-group on Computational Neurology. I am also a Visiting Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Rui Jin Hospital).

Current Research

Working in the field of brain connectivity, or connectomics, Dr Kaiser studies how brain networks develop, how network structure is linked to network function, and how interventions can alter these networks. Using computational and experimental approaches, he aims to find optimal personalised treatments for brain disorders. In particular, he is interested in treatments using non-invasive focused ultrasound or electrical stimulation as well as invasive electrical stimulation. He has applied methods ranging from network analysis to computer simulations to better understand brain network disorders ranging from depression and schizophrenia to epilepsy and dementia.

His book 'Changing Connectomes' published by MIT Press summarizes the field of connectomics and how brain networks change in health and disease.
