Summary

  • I am interested in the neurobiology of depression and trauma/stress-related psychiatric disorders, and in rapid-acting therapeutics—such as glutamatergic antidepressants and psychedelic compounds. I use multimodal neuroimaging and network neuroscience to characterize brain circuit dysfunction and mechanisms underlying treatment response.
