Professional Overview
Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I am interested in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods that provide more detailed information about the structural and functional micro-architecture of the brain compared to current methods. This requires new MRI contrast mechanisms, strategic encoding and reconstruction schemes, physiological monitoring, brain tissue modeling and validation. Applications of these methods include neurodevelopment, plasticity, aging, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.
