Ms Theofaneia Ntounia

I hold a BSc in Educational and Social Policy from the University of Macedonia and an MSc in Educational Neuroscience (Merit) from University College London and Birkbeck, University of London. I am currently in the final stages of my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Manchester, supported by a full scholarship from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

 

My doctoral research focuses on integrating movement analysis, and artificial intelligence, including the development of a Python-based diagnostic tool for autism in adults. I investigate motor control differences across neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism and developmental coordination disorder, and explore the underlying neural mechanisms, with an emphasis on translational applications.I have presented my research at international conferences and contributed to interdisciplinary research initiatives. My main interests include cognitive neuroscience, machine learning applications in health, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
