Research Interests

I am mainly interested in neurodevelopment. My research focuses on novel and improved methods to study individual differences in the early brain. I have previously worked with mapping function and structure of typical and atypical brain maturation trajectories. Currently, I am using dMRI to study longitudinal datasets.
