About
I’m a postdoctoral reserach fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital where I’m advised by Prof. Lilla Zollei as part of the FreeSurfer group at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging.
Previously, I was a postdoc in the department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania where I also completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Paul Yushkevich. Before that, I completed MSc. in computer science in the Shape Analysis Group at McGill University where I was supervised by Prof. Kaleem Siddiqi and Prof. Louis Collins at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Even before that, I obtained a BTech in ECE at VIT university, Vellore and completed my Bachelor’s thesis under the supervision of Dr. Steffen Bollmann at the University of Queensland.
My primary research focus is to develop computational methods to analyze high resolution postmortem brain MRI and link morphometry with histopathology to study both neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration in the human brain.
