Biography
Dr James Pang received his PhD in Physics from the University of Sydney and completed his postdoctoral training in the Brain Modelling Group at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute (Brisbane, Australia). He is currently a Research Fellow at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences. His research employs a multidisciplinary approach that combines biophysical models, neuroimaging, and connectivity to better understand the mechanisms of brain function in health, disease, and across species.
