Broadly, my research centers around developing computational approaches for mapping macroscopic-level diffusion MRI measurements to the underlying tissue at the microscopic scale.

My dissertation work leverages GPU-accelerated Monte-Carlo diffusion MRI simulations in realistic 3D numerical phantoms to investigate how diffusion MRI measurements reflect specific underlying pathological and anatomical conditions. With the integration of gradient waveforms designs, my work supports the development, optimization, and validation of new diffusion MRI techniques that will enhance white matter tissue characterization, ultimately facilitating early disease detection and intervention strategies.
