Dr Zuo Zhang PhD

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Biography

I joined King’s College London in 2018. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the SGDP Centre. My current research aims to identify biomarkers of eating disorders, and to predict the risk of developing eating disorders by using machine learning methods.

I received my PhD from the Dept. of Computer Science and Technology in Tongji University, Shanghai, China. My areas of expertise are neuroimaging analyses, statistical and machine learning models.

Research interests:

  •  Neurobiological risk factors of eating disorders 
  •  Predicting the development of eating disorders using multi-modality data and machine learning models.

Research groups:

Centre for Population Neuroscience and Precision Medicine (PONS)
