PhD Neuroscientist | fMRI Data Analysis Expert | Python, MATLAB & FSL | Neuroimaging pipelines & biomarkers

Profile Summary

I lead translational research developing targeted brain stimulation treatments for anxiety disorders through multi-site dataset analysis and neuromodulation protocol integration. I have partnered with pharmaceutical companies to evaluate product efficacy on brain function, leading neuroimaging subprojects that identified treatment-predictive biomarkers. Additionally, I've developed scalable analytical workflows for multi-site emotion regulation studies, implementing brain network approaches and machine learning methodologies to extract meaningful patterns from complex datasets. I contributed to R01 grant submissions and published findings in high-impact journals. I specialize in solving complex neuroimaging challenges through innovative technical approaches.
