Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoza Bayrak is a Senior Research Engineer and Research Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt with nine years of experience at the intersection of machine learning and brain research. Her PhD work focused on inter-individual variability, producing computational methods to interpret high-dimensional neuroimaging at the individual level to enable precision neuroscience and clinical insights. She brings deep expertise in large-scale data analysis, traditional and deep learning (including spherical CNNs for brain surface data), time-series modeling, signal processing, and reproducible replication studies. Roza has a track record of translating research into tools—developing interactive visual analytics and robust models that estimate physiological signals from fMRI—while also teaching and mentoring across undergraduate and graduate courses. Based in Nashville, she combines rigorous engineering with a curiosity for what makes individuals unique, often prioritizing model generalizability and interpretability in translational neuroimaging.
