I am a staff software engineer at Juniper Networks working on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Formerly, I was a research scientist at the Center for BrainHealth, the University of Texas at Dallas. I work in Dr. Daniel Krawczyk's lab where I am elucidating the neural systems of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and individuals receiving rehabilitative interventions for TBI, utizliing advanced magnetic resonacne imaging (resting-state functional connectivity, diffusion tensor imaging, quantitative structural imaging) and imaging big data analytics (network analysis, statistical analysis, machine learning). Prior to joining the Center for BrainHealth, I was a postdoctoral research associate at Washington University in St. Louis for two years (PI: Dr. David Brody). I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 2011 (Advisor: Dr. Thomas Talavage). My research interests include characterizing the brain networks of individuals with TBI and other disorders as well as developing novel methodologies for neuroimaging analysis.
