Scientific interests

I have a particular interest in neurology, especially epilepsy, focusing on molecular imaging using MRI and PET. Previously, I have worked with fMRI establishing resting-state features of distributed brain connectivity associated with personality traits. I have been scholarship student at a multimodal PET/fMRI study of brain mechanisms associated with the serotonin psychedelic psilocybin and 5-HT2A receptor modulation.
