I am an early-career physician-scientist with a foundation in biostatistics and computational biology and a passion for quantitative science. My mission is to improve the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of premature and critically ill infants by developing novel neuroimaging biomarkers and predictive models that can identify infants who will benefit from targeted interventions.

Currently, I’m completing postdoctoral training in neonatal brain development, neuroimaging, and machine learning. The goal of my neonatology fellowship research is to identify alterations to brain morphology and connectivity present in infants born prematurely and with critical congenital heart disease that persist into adolescence and are associated with adverse neurodevelopment outcomes.
