Research Interests

My interests are in digital signal and image processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, and generally any problem that can be solved using a computer. As a graduate research assistant at TReNDS, I analyze high dimensional brain imaging data to identify predictive patterns of function in the healthy and diseased brain.
