Onerva Korhonen

I am a network scientist fascinated by the applications of network science in studying diverse real-world systems. The two principal foci of my research are: 

1. Questioning established but insufficiently validated methodological assumptions of network neuroscience and developing novel, advanced and accurate models for brain function, including optimized preprocessing pipelines and top-noch node definition approaches.
2. Introducing network analysis in fields where it is less frequently applied, e.g., tree physiology and climate policy studies. 

In my current main project (ONerBrain: Optimized Multilayer Network Model for Interacting Brains), I develop models for human brain function based on the theory of multilayer and temporal networks. My primary research goal is to model the brain as a multilayer network with time-dependent, optimized nodes, and to apply this model to investigate the brain function during both individual tasks and social interaction.

I am open towards new interdisciplinary collaborations and enjoy discussing potential applications of network science in various fields of research. 

Visiting schools to tell about my research is an important and joyful part of my job! I am happy to visit classes either physically in the Tampere and Helsinki regions or remotely anywhere. See my personal webpage (https://onervakorhonen.wordpress.com/school-visits-kouluvierailut/) for more information.
