• Postdoctoral Research Associate

  • May 2017 - Aug 2021

  For the first several years, I worked with Maurizio Corbetta and Gordon Shulman. My research focused on clarifying how the structural damage caused by stroke relates to disruptions of resting brain function and to behavioral deficits. I also developed a research software tool (Lesion Quantification Toolkit) for estimating the white matter disconnections caused by stroke and other brain lesions (e.g., tumors, TBI, etc.).For the final year, I worked with Larry Snyder and Janine Bijsterbosch. My research focused on the relationship between the resting-state BOLD signal and electrophysiological signals in non-human primates.



The University of Alabama at Birmingham

• Graduate Research Assistant

  • Jul 2012 - Apr 2017

  I was mentored by Jerzy Szaflarski and Kristina Visscher. I conducted basic research focused on how attention affects fMRI activity and connectivity in the early visual system in the human brain, and how attentional modulations of activity/connectivity interact with the the retinotopic organization of early visual areas. I also conducted clinically-oriented research focused on leveraging multi-modal MRI data to elucidate predictors of long-term language outcomes after left hemisphere stroke, and developed a research software tool for automated stroke lesion identification in MRI.
