San Diego State University (2015-2018)
My master's research is where I first started exploring functional connectivity, and brain network research. At this point, my undergraduate had lead me to be fascinated by brain imaging, and neuropsychology oriented research. My experiences at LIBR and my undergraduate research at TU lead me to pursue neuroscience, and specifically, neuroimaging research.
I focused my master's thesis from 2016-2018 on the default mode network (DMN) in autism spectrum disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) mentored by Dr. Andrew Michael. The link to my thesis can be found here.
We completed my thesis with a joint collaboration, at SDSU, and have a review paper accepted in January 2021. My committee members included SDSU's current imaging director, Dr. Martin Sereno, Dr. Claire Murphy, and Dr. Usha Sinha who lent their expertise on brain networks to further make my thesis a cohesive, and rewarding project.
