Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a crucial technology for gaining insights into cognitive processes in humans. Data amassed from fMRI measurements result in volumetric data sets that vary over time. However, analysing such data presents a challenge due to the large degree of noise and person-to-person variation in how information is represented in the brain. To address this challenge, we present a novel topological approach that encodes each time point in an fMRI data set as a persistence diagram of topological features, i.e. high-dimensional voids present in the data. This representation naturally does not rely on voxel-by-voxel correspondence and is robust towards noise. We show that these time-varying persistence diagrams can be clustered to find meaningful groupings between participants, and that they are also useful in studying within-subject brain state trajectories of subjects performing a particular task. Here, we apply both clustering and trajectory analysis techniques to a group of participants watching the movie 'Partly Cloudy'. We observe significant differences in both brain state trajectories and overall topological activity between adults and children watching the same movie.

I am a PhD Student at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, currently interning at Amazon. My thesis defence is planned for August 2021. I am interested in opportunities for my time after the PhD. I develop and apply methods from **topological data analysis** for machine learning tasks such as graph classification or to improve our understanding of deep learning and neuroscience. Furthermore, I utilize and develop methods for the classification of real-world **biomedical time-series**. These methods extend to statistical work on pioneering significant pattern mining for time-series data. More recently, I got interested in Gaussian Processes.
