Experience
Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
Visiting Scholar
June, 2013 - June, 2014
Responsibilities include analyzing neural data and collaborating on writing scientific papers.
Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Postdoctoral Fellow
June, 2013 - June, 2014
Primary research aims are to develop methods that model and interpret images of the brain, develop new algorithms and validate them on a variety of data to understand the effects of aging, disease, and genetics on the structure and connectivity of our brains.
Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Graduate Student Researcher
September, 2007 - June, 2013
Developed algorithms and applications for brain classification, segmentation, and analysis using magnetic resonance (MR) and diffusion imaging images. Specifically diffusion tensor images (DTI) and high angular resolution diffusion images (HARDI). In addition, created segmentation validation tool available here.
