Jorge Riera obtained a B.S. in Physics at the University of Havana (1988), a M.S. in Biophysics as “Junior Associate” of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (1995-1998), and a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Havana with a CNRS fellowship at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, Paris. Riera’s main scientific interest is to develop methods for the integration of different neuroimaging modalities based on the modeling of mesoscopic phenomena in the cerebral cortex. Members from Dr. Riera’s lab use these methods to develop clinical tools for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of several brain disorders, like epilepsy, dementia, stroke and migraine.
