Ruiyang Ge (蓋瑞洋), PhD


I am a biomedical engineer and a computational neuroscientist with specialized training and expertise in computational brain health and neuroinformatics. I am affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health at the University of British Columbia, and I will be joining University of Macau as a Tenured Associate Professor.

Research Interests

  • AI/Machine Learning
  • Computational Psychiatry
  • Human Mental Health
  • Neuroinformatics
  • Personalized Neuroimaging
  • Therapeutic Neuromodulation

My research sits at the intersection of biomedical informatics, data science, and precision mental health. With a background in biomedical engineering (B.Eng.) and computer science (Ph.D.), I develop computational methods that transform complex, multi-scale health data, including neuroimaging, physiological signals, and healthcare data, into actionable insights and tools for healthcare delivery and public health. The long-term goal of my research is to advance precision and translational biomedical informatics.
