Favour Nerrise

Favour (she/her) is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering conducting research in the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory with Dr. Ehsan Adeli and Dr. Kilian Pohl. Previously, she obtained a B.S. in Computer Science with minors in Arabic and Global Engineering Leadership from the University of Maryland-College Park (Go Terps!). Her current research is focused on using data-driven methods to discover trackable, digital biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases by identifying neural correlates between neuroimaging and recorded human, movement-linked disturbances. Ultimately, this work would improve monitoring the progression and digital phenotyping of neurodegenerative disorders of aging. Outside of the lab, Favour loves teaching, leadership, science policy, traveling, cooking, and watching/playing sports.
