Neuroimaging, cognitive assessment, and computational neuroscience — 8+ years across clinical, defense, and population-level research. Now bringing that expertise to industry.
I'm a neuroscientist specializing in neuroimaging pipeline development and cognitive assessment design, with experience spanning clinical trials, defense research, and national-scale population studies.
Currently at MIT's McGovern Institute and MGH, I lead neuroimaging research in dyslexia, ADHD, and brain plasticity — building analysis pipelines for structurally complex brains and connecting imaging findings to real-world outcomes in children.
Previously, I developed neuroimaging biomarkers for blast-related brain injury at Imperial College London with the UK Ministry of Defence, and designed a cognitive assessment battery deployed to over 150,000 participants as part of a national COVID-19 study — work published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature Communications.
I'm interested in bringing this expertise beyond academia — through consulting, scientific advisory, and partnerships with organizations working in brain health, education, digital health, and defense.
Selection, adaptation, and validation of cognitive assessment batteries for clinical trials, product development, and specific populations — pediatric, neurodevelopmental, and brain injury.
Ongoing or project-based advisory for brain health products, EdTech platforms, digital health companies, and neurodiverse-focused programs. Translating neuroscience into product and clinical strategy.
Custom pipeline development for structurally complex or atypical brain populations. Diffusion and structural MRI, automated segmentation, and reproducibility at scale.
Machine learning applied to brain imaging — brain age prediction, anomaly detection, classification. Large-scale analysis and visualization for non-specialist audiences.
Expert neuroimaging analysis for traumatic brain injury litigation. Court-ready reports, case consultation, and testimony support grounded in peer-reviewed methods and clinical imaging expertise. Prior experience providing analyses for TBI cases in legal proceedings.
600+ citations · 8 peer-reviewed articles · 2 under review · 5 in preparation. Full list on Google Scholar.
I write about neuroscience and psychology for non-specialist audiences on Medium, where I'm a top writer with 2,000+ subscribers. As editor of Brain Chronicles, I translate complex research into accessible narratives — covering how the brain learns to read, what neuroimaging can and can't tell us, neurodiversity, and cognitive development in children.
I also co-founded BePeers, a social coaching platform for the neurodiverse community — leading product research, user needs assessment, and evidence-based resource development from concept through launch.
Whether it's a focused project, an advisory engagement, or a scientific partnership — I'd like to hear about what you're working on.
