Research Interests
My research involves the application of MR and image processing techniques to understand normal brain function and to better diagnose and monitor treatment of neurologic disorders. Areas of research interest include reading and speech disabilities, central nervous system neoplasms, prion disease, white matter disorders, and pediatric brain disease. I also collaborate on research of schizophrenia, mood disorders, impulse control, and epilepsy.
