Ninad Aithal

I am an incoming MSc student in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill University, joining the ORIGAMI Lab at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute) under Jean-Baptiste Poline. My research spans neuroimaging, medical image analysis, and machine learning for brain health.

Alongside research, I build open tools for neuroscience — most recently NeuroDataHub, an open-access platform for exploring and comparing large-scale neuroimaging datasets.

I’m broadly interested in foundation modeling for neuroimaging and in federated learning across imaging sites — bringing models to data spread over hospitals and cohorts, so studies can scale without centralizing sensitive scans.
