Research Interests: My main research interest is to understand how early life stress (such as childhood maltreatment) alters neural systems in adulthood, and identifying biomarkers of risk and resilience. I use multiple techniques (fMRI, EEG, GSR/EDA) to get a wholistic picture of the effects. While my current work is in healthy young adults, in the future I would like to test the utility of these biomarkers in clinical populations to improve treatment outcomes and early intervention.
