New paper in smoking addiction is now out in Brain and Behavior
New paper in smoking addiction is now out in Brain and Behavior
This project was especially meaningful to me because it let me bring a lot of the skills I developed during my PhD into a new area of neuroimaging, and I learned a great deal along the way. In this study, we found reduced whole-brain network segregation in chronic smokers, along with lower tNAA in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, suggesting subtle but systematic alterations in executive-control and reward-related systems.

Excited to share my first publication in Medical Physics!
After focusing on MRI applications in neuroimaging and toxicology in the past, this CT study represents my first publication within the field of medical physics (and my first as a resident).
My latest project on brain structural and MRS changes in smokers was accepted as an oral presentation at AAPM 2026

See you all in DC!
Had a great time at ISMRM in Hawai‘i!
Had a great time at ISMRM in Hawai‘i!
Just got back from ISMRM 2025 in Honolulu — what an experience! This was my first time attending not as a PhD student, but as a medical physics fellow, and the shift felt both surreal and exciting. I had the chance to present my research on neuroimaging markers of smoking addiction, and it sparked some great conversations with people working across clinical and research spaces. Grateful for the feedback, the connections, and the beautiful backdrop of Hawai‘i.
