At KAUST, an inclusive multicultural environment and state-of-the-art facilities provide an avenue for advanced studies in a variety of scientific disciplines. My visit to the Biostatistics Group build my skill set and understanding of synergetic research applications between neuroscience and statistics.

Education and Early Career

  • Ph.D. in Modeling & Simulation, University of Central Florida
  • M.S. in Modeling & Simulation, University of Central Florida
  • B.S. in Psychology, University of Florida

Research Interest

Cintya's interests lie in the intersection of clinical translational research and brain signal processing methods. Her work involves computational neuroscience models of attention, integrated technologies for human-computer interaction, and neuroimaging techniques. She hopes to translate these into data science approaches that can inform the prognosis of medical conditions and improve individualized patient treatments.
