Burak graduated from Bilkent University with a B.Sc. in Electronics. Shortly after his graduation he joined to Turkey’s first national MR research center (UMRAM), where he started working with fMRI in various clinical and cognitive studies. After completing his master’s in biomedical engineering with bioelectricity & biomagnetism track, he started his PhD in University Medical Center Freiburg, where he worked with Dr. Pierre LeVan and Prof. Jürgen Hennig to understand dynamic interactions of brain networks by using fast fMRI. He is interested in multimodal brain imaging, fMRI acquisitions, processing pipelines and data visualization. He joined NIMH as a postdoctoral fellow in January 2021. He will be working on spatio-temporal characteristics of laminar fMRI and development of novel processing methods.
