Anna rieckmann, PhD
professor

Together with my research group and collaborators from near and far, I study the neurobiological basis of cognitive functions using a novel multi-modal brain imaging approach that combines PET and fMRI. In 2016, I was awarded an ERC Starting Grant and a VR Young Investigator Award. Since 2022, I am professor for Biological Psychology at the University of the Bundeswehr in Munich, Germany

Filip Grill
PhD student 2018-2022

My academic background is in psychology and cognitive science. My PhD project is about dopamine function in the human striatum. The aim is to translate existing animal models to complex human behaviour by utilizing multi-modal brain imaging techniques.

SARA ANDERSSON
CLINICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST

I joined Anna Rieckmann Lab in August 2017. I am working together with the group on my specialization research project, as a part of the advanced training programme for clinical neuropsychological specialization. I am also working as a neuropsychologist at the Neurology Clinic at Umeå University Hospital since 2011. 

vania Panes lundmark
psychologist AND PROJECT ASSISTANT 2017-2023

I joined the lab in September 2017, working half time while also studying fine arts. My work involves communication with study participants, data collection, study administration, and data handling. I have a master’s degree in psychology from Karolinska Institutet, and I have previously worked as a clinical psychologist.
 

Lars Jonasson StIERNMAN, phd
Post-doc 2017-2022

My academic background is in cognitive neuroscience and psychology. I earned my PhD in Diagnostic Radiology at Umeå University in 2017, where I studied the effects of aerobic fitness and exercise on cognition, brain structure, and the dopaminergic system. My general research interests involve understanding brain plasticity and individual differences in brain function and cognition. During my post doctoral work I will focus on understanding potential differences in the coupling between glucose metabolism and blood flow changes during working memory execution in younger and older adults.

Charlotte MCNulty
PhD Student AND LAB ASSISTANT 2020-2021

I have an academic background in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. My PhD project explores changes in functional and structural connectivity across the adult lifespan, which will be investigated using multimodal imaging techniques. The aim of the project is to provide a clearer understanding of brain function in older adults and contribute to the development of better diagnostic and therapeutic tools

Philip bAHRD
LAB ASSISTANT 2020

I’m a master’s student in cognitive science at Umeå University who joined the lab in 2020. I primarily help out with practicalities in data collection, along with various minor tasks. My background is in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of mind, and I aspire to work with research in the future.
