DESCRIPTION OF WORK / BIOSKETCH
I use a combination of neuroimaging tools to interrogate the physics of the living state. Currently I am using advanced MRI methods (Morphometry, fMRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, MR spectroscopy) and temporally sensitive techniques (EEG) to track the brain's response to simple and complex auditory stimuli, and how where they originate. At the systems level, my goal is to discover structure-function relationships, and at the cellular level, my
research focuses on understanding the role of calcium in mitochondrial function, transcriptional regulation, brain energetics, neuron-glia interactions, synaptic mechanisms, and neurovascular coupling, in both healthy individuals and in persons with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism. I am especially interested in those events (genetic, cellular, network, and systemic) that shape the assembly of cellular circuits.
