Welcome! I'm Eva van Heese
PhD Candidate at Amsterdam University Medical Centre, the Netherlands
I investigate sleep, neurodegeneration, and brain clearance using MRI. This research includes a central role in coordinating international consortia, focussed on pooling imaging data to improve power, reproducibility, and diversity across datasets. I actively promote open science through my research, collaborations, and outreach initiatives aimed at the broader community.
Research Areas
MRI
Advanced MRI methods to study brain structure, function, and physiology in health and disease.
Sleep and sleep disorders
Sleep disorders, with a focus on narcolepsy and other central disorders of hypersomnolence, REM sleep behaviour disorder, and the effects of sleep and sleep deprivation.
Neurodegeneration
MRI-based investigation of brain changes in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.
Brain clearance
MRI-based investigation of brain clearance processes at the intersection of sleep and neurodegeneration.
Large, multi-site datasets
Central role in coordinating international consortia, focussed on pooling imaging data to improve power, reproducibility, and diversity across datasets.
Open science
Promotion of open and reproducible research through transparent methods, open code, inclusive collaboration, and public outreach and teaching
