Curriculum Vitae

Jorge André Simões Cândido Martins

Jorge Martins holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and is currently an Assistant Researcher (equivalent to Assistant Professor, research track) at ISPA-Instituto Universitário. His research combines contemporary theory, advanced statistical modeling (e.g., ML predictive modeling), ecological momentary assessments (EMA), and multimodal neuroimaging methods–namely, electroencephalography (EEG), including event-related potentials (ERPs); and, more recently, voxel-based whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis and neural connectivity–to the understanding of the underlying causes contributing to the susceptibility for addiction and the wide heterogeneity in addiction treatment outcomes. To date, he has authored or co-authored 21 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals. In addition to his publications, he has been active in presenting his work at national and international conferences, totaling more than 60 communications in scientific meetings, including 13 oral presentations, 17 invited talks or symposia communications, and 30 poster presentations.
