Short CV

Research

The mammalian brain is a highly complex organ, with a broad range of regional microscale cellular morphologies and macroscale global properties, together forming an efficient system for processing and integration of multimodal information. Scientists investigating the brain across different species and across scales of observation have reported on a large regional variability in brain organization, both on the microscale of cortical structure as well as in the macroscale of corticocortical connectivity. My work explores the association between whole-brain patterns of microscale architecture and macroscale region-to-region connectivity.
