Biography
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Cognitive Neuroscience Program at Florida International University, conducting research in the Neuroinformatics and Brain Connectivity Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Angela Laird.
My current work involves secondary analyses of data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, integrating linked environmental exposure measures with resting-state fMRI to examine how environmental contexts relate to large-scale brain connectivity. Through multivariate and systems-oriented approaches, my research aims to characterize how physical environmental factors shape neural organization in the adolescent brain, with potential expansion to social and toxicological factors in the future.
