Mini-Bio:
I am an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at UCLA, and an investigator in the consortium for neuropsychiatric phenomics. I did both my graduate work and post-doc here at UCLA. My graduate work was within the interdepartmenal program in Neuroscience in the lab of Susan Bookheimer. My thesis was titled "The Contribution of the Inferior Frontal Gyrus to Effortful Retrieval: fMRI Correlates of Semantic Priming", where I specifically focused on the role of cognitive control in IFG activity related to semantic processing. Afterwards, I continued working on cognitive control phenotypes with a T32 post-doctoral fellowship (Nuechterlein, PI) working with Robert Bilder, who now the director of the cnp. Prior to graduate school I worked with Deanna Barch, Todd Braver, and Jonathan Cohen investigating cognitive control processes in schizophrenia.
I check my email about 15hours a day, so feel free to drop me one...
Interests:
Over the last several years I have been using neuroimaging and neuroinformatics approaches in order to investigate and ultimately refine cognitive control phenotypes that are important in a number of neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar, adhd, and autism spectrum disorders. One exciting approach we are pursuing is dynamic phenotyping using web-based procedures to measure quantative traits linking cognitive control and a variety of symptoms related to specific disorders.
Here is my C.V.
(that probably wont change as often as it should...)
