I am Clinical Neuroscientist working on improving diagnostic and prognostic precision as well treatment efficacy for patients diagnosed with impairments in conscious awareness following brain injury. By combining advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as functional MRI, with standardized behavioral assessments, I hope to better understand the neurobiological basis for disorders of consciousness. I believe this understanding will translate into better early and long-term outcomes for the most severely injured patients. I am fortunate to have a dual appointment at Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, which provides a unique perspective on the continuum of recovery from severe brain injury. Seeing both miraculous healing and devastating loss motivates me to find answers in a field of many unknowns.
