As Assistant Director of the Scully Center facilities, I manage operations and provide research support for our MRI core facility along with the other shared human research labs that compose the center: EEG, TMS, VR, and eye tracking. In the summer of 2024, we expanded our facilities to include an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) MEG lab.

I was first introduced to neuroscience in the late 90s when I was fortunate enough to work in the laboratory of Joseph Tracy at Hahnemann University during my undergraduate years. After college, I was a Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Trainee under the mentorship of the late Leslie Ungerleider at the NIMH before attending Princeton for graduate school. I completed my graduate studies as a first-generation academic in the laboratories of the late Charlie Gross and Sabine Kastner in 2005. Over the years, my research interests spanned the attention network and the organization of high-level visual cortex.

Today, in addition to managing PNI's human research facilities, I'm actively collaborating on several ongoing research projects, including work with Annegret Dettwiler and Silvia Fossati using diffusion imaging and blood-based biomarkers to measure structural changes in the brains of active-duty Marines exposed to weapons blasts. I am also working with Kajsa Igelström at Linköping University looking at cerebellar circuits underlying motor and cognitive functions. I serve on the University's animal welfare committee and manage PNI's veterinary CT scanner.

Outside of the laboratory I enjoy the outdoors with my family and riding (and writing about) recumbent bicycles. If you see someone riding around Princeton on a strange bike contraption, it's probably me!
