I am interested in bridging the research gap between engineers and physicians to improve patient care. At VUMC I partake in imaging research applied to autoimmune diseases and polytraumatic injuries.

I am interested in neuroimaging and using novel MRI imaging techniques to better understand the pathophysiology of disease in the brain and spinal cord.

Currently I research developing advancements in MRI methods for the detection and quantification of pathologies affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve related to MS.

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.
