I am a neuroimaging scientist focused on developing and applying novel methods in neuroimaging to maximize the information we can extract, with the aim of providing more detailed and personalized results and tailoring treatments to individuals. I value the synergy of advancing technology with sensitive analytical techniques to improve patient outcomes and access to effective interventions. My work blends data science with neuroscience to translate complex findings into practical clinical insights. In addition to method development, I have led and mentored teams across international projects, built scalable data processing pipelines, and contributed to high-impact publications. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to turn rich, high-dimensional data into actionable knowledge for clinicians and patients.
