Most recently, he was a Distinguished Professor at the University of New Mexico and the President of the Mind Research Network. Dr. Calhoun is the founding director of the tri-institutional Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS; http://www.trendscenter.org), a joint effort between Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and Emory University, which is focused on improving our understanding of the human brain using advanced analytic approaches with an emphasis on translational research such as the development of predictive biomarkers for mental and neurological disorders. The use of big data approaches and neuroinformatics tools to capture, manage, analyze, and share data is also a major emphasis. Dr. Calhoun also enjoys playing tennis and playing clarinet with his children.
