About
My core interests lie in understanding how children and adolescents perceive and interpret social signals and how emerging functional specificity of the developing brain supports this process. My approach primarily involves using the face processing system as a model domain. Faces are dynamic stimuli from which we extract many different kinds of information (e.g., gender, age, emotional state, mate potential, social status, trustworthiness, intentions, “person knowledge”). All of these processes must be executed accurately and rapidly for many faces over the course of a single day, making face processing among the most taxing perceptual challenges confronted by people in their day-to-day life. Given that faces are also the pre-eminent social signal, studying developmental changes in the behavioral and brain basis of face processing in typically developing individuals and in those affected by social-emotional disorders may index a core set of developmental changes within the broader social information processing system. I employ converging methodologies, including functional (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) along with detailed behavioral paradigms in both typically developing populations and those with developmental disorders to examine development from early childhood to adulthood.

About
I grew up just outside of Boston in a town called Braintree. Braintree is a odd name for a town, and when I was a kid I imagined that somewhere there must be a tree with brains growing out of it. I couldn't wait to find this tree, pick my very own brain from among the branches, and see what it looked like. I was wrong about the tree, but now I get to look at brains all the time! I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MGH Martinos Center and a Visiting Scientist at Brandeis University. My research studies how age and neurochemistry affect the network stucture of the brain. My primary mentors are Dr. Anne Berry and Dr. Jacob Hooker.

Example Neuroimaging projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on Neuroimaging?

Optimizing Advertising Campaigns

A company in the advertising industry can collaborate with a Neuroimaging expert to optimize their advertising campaigns. By using neuroimaging techniques, such as fMRI, the researcher can analyze brain responses to different advertisements and identify the most effective ones. This insight can help the company create targeted and impactful advertisements that resonate with their target audience.

Improving User Experience

Tech companies can benefit from collaborating with Neuroimaging experts to improve user experience. By studying brain activity during interactions with digital interfaces, researchers can identify areas of improvement and design more intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. This collaboration can lead to the development of products that are more engaging, enjoyable, and efficient for users.

Enhancing Mental Health Interventions

Collaborating with Neuroimaging experts can help companies in the mental health industry enhance their interventions. By studying brain activity patterns in individuals with mental health conditions, researchers can identify biomarkers and develop personalized treatment approaches. This collaboration can lead to the development of more effective interventions and therapies for mental health disorders.

Advancing Neurological Disease Research

Pharmaceutical companies can collaborate with Neuroimaging experts to advance research on neurological diseases. By using neuroimaging techniques, researchers can study brain changes associated with diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis. This collaboration can provide valuable insights into disease progression, identify potential drug targets, and contribute to the development of new treatments.

Optimizing Sports Performance

Sports organizations can benefit from collaborating with Neuroimaging experts to optimize athletes' performance. By studying brain activity during training and competition, researchers can identify cognitive and neural factors that contribute to success.
