Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I research Applied Personalized Neuroscience focusing on mood, anxiety and attention disorders by discovering novel ways of classifying these psychiatric conditions using human neuroscience. The overarching goal is to apply the findings in clinical practice by identifying treatments best suited to the individual. To achieve this goal, clinic and research collaboration is essential. I rely on technology to integrate multiple measures of behavior, brain function, imaging and genetics.
