I'm interested in the origins of the human mind and I investigate how neuroanatomy determines the functional organization of the human brain, and how the existing architecture changes with typical or adverse experience. I use longitudinal neuroimaging to measure brain activity and connectivity in infants and young children, and computational modeling to predict brain and behavioral outcomes. My work in atypical development and brain injury involves using early brain data to predict susceptibility to brain injury, behavioral consequences of head impact and injury, and recovery outcomes.
