Welcome to my website.

I'm a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and F.M. Kirby Research Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute. Most of my research focuses on MRI data acquisition methods and post-processing techniques for studying tissue microstructure in the brain. My current research interest is 1) to develop novel methods for acquiring microstructure information with great precision, 2) to understand their molecular underpinnings in conjunction with histology and, finally, 3) to translate the results toward the clinical side for studying the pathogenesis of brain diseases. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
