I am a Bioengineering PhD student co-advised by Drs. David Wolk and Sandhitsu Das. My research focuses on leveraging multimodal neuroimaging to characterize medial temporal lobe changes in Alzheimer’s disease and related co-pathologies, particularly limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). Using structural MRI, I aim to improve early detection and develop stratification strategies for clinical trials; through diffusion MRI and histology, I aim to gain deeper insight into the biological processes underlying neurodegeneration. More broadly, I am interested in bridging methodological innovation with clinical relevance by integrating imaging and biomarker data to refine disease classification, enhance prognostic precision, and support the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Prior to joining the lab, I worked at the Memory and Aging Center at UCSF, where I assisted with the processing and analysis of amyloid and tau PET imaging for multi-site studies, including LEADS. Outside the lab, I enjoy spending time in nature, traveling, working out, and exploring new cafes!
