Utek, PhD

Research Fellow

Hello there!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Duke-NUS Medical School focused on advancing a systems-based approach to mental health, conceptualizing mental disorders as dynamic systems of interacting symptoms, cognitive risk factors, and physiological processes. My work is motivated by the goal of leveraging network science to generate mechanistic insights with clear clinical relevance that can inform more precise and adaptive mental health interventions.

During my free time, I enjoy tending to my tropical houseplants, playing degenerate Magic The Gathering combo decks, listening to melodic hardcore, and taking walks with my beautiful wife.
