As an Affiliate in the Psychiatry department at UCSF, my research interests have focused on investigating various aspects of brain function and structure and how they relate to healthy aging and to neuropsychiatric disorders.

Through co-authoring several research publications, I have contributed to our understanding of the brain network architecture and its changes in the healthy aging brain, in substance use disorders and after traumatic brain injuries. Using advanced imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging, I have delved into topics such as which functional and structural brain features may predict relapse after recovery from substance abuse or cause attentional problems in adolescents after mild traumatic brain injury. My commitment to advancing neuroscience research drives me to explore new insights into brain function and its implications for mental health.
