I am currently an Instructor in Radiology at the Harvard Medical School, working in the Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, MGH. I work on various registration projects, including surface and volumetric registration of brain MRI images and diffusion tensor image (DTI) alignment.

For more details, see my CV and the list of publications below.
