I am currently a faculty member in the Division of NMR/MRI at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Tallahassee, FL, USA) and serve as an MRI user program associate director. My research aims to enhance the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in conjunction with computational neuroscience, neuromodulation and both human and animal models. This work seeks to unravel the neural foundations of cognition and sensorimotor functions and to explore the relationship between abnormal brain function and neurological and neuropsychological disorders.

My academic and professional journey is rooted in a deep interest in fundamental neuroscience and psychology, focusing on two key areas: (1) how the biological brain manifests cognition, perception, and motor control, and (2) the impact of neural circuit disruption and modulation on behavior and cognition in both healthy and diseased brains. I have primarily employed functional MRI combined with visual stimuli and intracranial/deep brain stimulation in human and animal models to elucidate the link between neural activity, hemodynamics, and behavior. Additionally, I have utilized advanced computational analysis of neuroimaging data, including machine learning-based pattern classification and dynamic causal modeling, to further explore the functional relationships between brain regions exhibiting hemodynamic activation.
