Research Interests:
I am interested in the phenomenon of ultrasound neuromodulation. My research is currently aimed towards optimizing parameters used in a ultrasound neuromodulation as well as determining the mechanism by which ultrasound neuromodulation exerts its effects. I am doing this mostly using a field potential electrophysiological system. During my time in the lab I also hope to learn patch clamp electrophysiology. In the future I would like to apply my skills towards researching novel treatments for psychiatric disorders. It is very possible that ultrasound may end up being one of these treatments!
