About
I am a recent graduate from the Neuroscience Program at the University of Michigan (April 2011). In my dissertation research, I combined functional neuroimaging, genetics, and behavioral measures to examine the impact of serotonin transporter gene variation on neural and behavioral correlates of goal-directed cognition.
Going forward, my research interests focus on brain mechanisms of cognitive control. I am interested both in factors that modulate these brain mechanisms (primarily gene-environment interactions that converge on the serotonin system) - and in ways that we can repair these mechanisms when they are impaired (e.g., via cognitive-training interventions for substance use disorders).
In May 2011, I started a post-doc in Psychology Department at the University of Michigan, and I am designing two fMRI projects on cognitive control.
