I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Lifespan Brain Institute of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania. I received my PhD in 2020 from the University of Cambridge as a part of the collaborative National Institutes of Health Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program, where I spent half of my PhD in the USA. I use tools such as neuroimaging and genetics to probe basic questions about the emergence of the human brain, how it develops, and what it looks like in various clinical contexts.
