Research Assistant Professor
I am a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and a member of the Center for Consciousness Science at the University of Michigan Medical School. I have a multidisciplinary background including psychology, biology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. I study the mechanistic role of large-scale brain networks in conscious cognition and its alteration by pharmacologic, neuropathologic and psychiatric manipulations using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
