As Assistant Director for the Scully Center, I manage operations and provide research support for our MRI core facility along with other shared human research facilities that compose the center. These include the Electroencephalography (EEG) Lab, the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Lab, the Virtual Reality (VR) Lab, and the Eye Tracking (ET) Lab. Also, I'm excited to announce that starting in the summer of 2024, we will expand our facilities to include the next generation of functional neuroimaging: an Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM-MEG) Lab.

I was first introduced to cognitive neuroscience in the late 90s when I was fortunate enough to work as a research assistant for Joseph Tracy at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute/Hahnemann University in Philadelphia 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. My research spanned investigations of the visual attention network to the organization of high-level visual cortex.

Today, in addition to my primary responsibilities managing PNI's human research facilities, I'm active in the University's animal welfare committee to ensure that everyone treats research animals in a humane manner and in compliance with our laws and regulations.

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 !
