Some projects that I'm involved with look at the links between socioeconomic backgrounds, home learning activities, and children's brain development and academic outcomes; and the links between instructional materials, learning strategies, and the brain performance-monitoring and executive systems

Children's reading outcomes are a complex product of development and environment, brain plasticity, and learning structure. I'm excited to be involved in projects looking at these areas of children's development, as well as efforts supporting individuals facing unfavorable circumstances and life headwinds.

Neuroimaging, tissue micro-structure imaging, diffusion MRI

My current work involves MRI method development to examine white matter plasticity in different disease states. We specifically look at axonal properties via simulations and optimizations of parameters in diffusion MRI processes such as encoding gradient waveforms, diffusion time, diffusion coefficient.
