Portfolio:

He graduated from English Language School in Plovdiv. Holds a degree in medicine from the Medical University of Plovdiv. Received his PhD in 2001. Since 2004 is associate professor, since 2012 professor of anatomy, histology and cytology. He has a specialty in normal morphology (1992). He specializes in cranio- and cephalometry (BAS, 1996). Author of 192 scientific papers and 13 textbooks, has 694 citations abroad and 5 funded scientific projects. Awarded PhD thesis in competition at the Interuniversity Fund of Higher Education, Sofia (2001).

Scientific interests are in the field of neuromorphology - neurodevelopmental hypothesis for the origin of mental diseases, changes in the forebrain cortex in intensive training and physical anthropology - virtual 3D examination of the head and face in age and ethnic aspect.

Member of the Bulgarian Anatomical Society, Bulgarian Anthropological Society, European Anthropological Association. Member of the Scientific Council at IEMPAM at BAS and expert at NEAA.

Human brain connectome is a new and rapidly developing field in neuroscience. Because of methodological limitations, it is not possible to fully map the human connectome.

There is a different pattern of connectivity between neurons and the most important issue ...
