Computational Neuroscientist


advancing precision neuroscience research

I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department, Bioengineering Department, and Center for Cognitive and Brain Health at Northeastern University and a Research Affiliate in the Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Department in the Yale School of Medicine creating computational and statistical tools for precision neuroscience research. My use of "precision neuroscience" is intended to invoke both measurement theory and precision medicine concepts.

My research aims to use fundamental measurement principles and individual-centered methods to advance brain-behavior understanding and prediction. To set the stage for this research program, I have developed approaches to improve detection of brain-behavior relationships based on my work characterizing measurement and signal properties. Furthermore, I have a longstanding commitment to providing best practices for machine learning and big data analysis, especially for predicting psychiatric and developmental outcomes. The overarching motivation for these goals is one that the field is growing to embrace: more precise inferential and predictive methods are needed to accelerate discovery in health and disease. Many neuroscience-related research areas have faced an explosion in the size and complexity of data and methods, and I aim to explore solutions to problems that span disciplines.

I previously completed my BSE in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University, my PhD in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program at Yale University with Dr. Todd Constable, and my Postdoctoral Research in the Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Department at the Yale School of Medicine with Dr. Dustin Scheinost. My experiences also extend beyond academia: before the PhD, I was co-founding Chief Scientific Officer of goBlue Labs (selected media and Craving to Quit product; now Mindsciences), and a consultant for Source Signal Imaging (now part of Cortech Solutions). I am currently a consultant for Elite Warrior Identification.
