Henrik Podéus

I am a PhD-student in the group. One part of my research focuses on investigating the underlaying mechanisms that are interpreted as “brain activity”. In the other part of my research I focus on how alcohol is absorbed and eliminated from the body and how one can use the markers of alcohol consumption to predict previous alcohol consumption.

My research focuses on identifying and characterizing the pathways involved in neurovascular coupling using mathematical modeling. I aim to develop a framework that bridges electrophysiological and neurovascular measurements, enabling a deeper understanding of brain function and connectivity.

In addition to my work in neurovascular modeling, I have recently expanded my research to include alcohol modeling. This involves investigating how an individual's alcohol profile can be estimated based on intake patterns and personal characteristics. I am also exploring how biomarkers such as ethyl glucuronide (EtG), ethyl sulfate (EtS), and phosphatidylethanol (PEth) can be used to retrospectively infer alcohol consumption behavior. This dual focus allows for a broader application of modeling techniques across both neuroscience and substance use research.
