Summary
Ricardo Martins is a quantitative neuroimaging researcher and postdoctoral-level biomedical engineer with 10 years of experience applying signal processing, computational modeling, biostatistics, and machine learning to multimodal brain imaging (sMRI, fMRI, PET). Based at Coimbra, he designs and runs clinical studies, builds end-to-end preprocessing and analysis pipelines, and links imaging biomarkers to cognitive and behavioral profiles for patient stratification and treatment-response research. His background in robotics and sensor fusion informs a systems-level approach to experimental integration—simultaneously acquiring imaging, behavioral, and stimulation data—and he has hands-on expertise with tracer kinetic modeling across a wide range of PET ligands. He routinely supervises MSc/PhD students and research staff, translating complex methods into reproducible pipelines, and combines deep academic training (PhD in ECE with robotics specialization) with practical engineering across MATLAB, Python and C++ toolchains.
