Biography

My graduate and postdoctoral research has focused on developing a suite of brain imaging methods to evaluate and refine brain stimulation techniques for clinical applications. In 2022, I was awarded a NIH/NIMH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence award (K99/R00 MH128572) to utilize these methods to optimize one specific form of non-invasive neuromodulation (Transcranial direct current stimulation) for antidepressant applications. With the help of this award, I am now looking to transition to faculty, and my career goal is to develop a research program that leverages cutting-edge in-vivo brain imaging to develop brain stimulation configurations for treating mental health disorders.
