About Me
I conduct research on human brain connectivity and brain network organizations using neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). I develop computational models to measure brain connectivity in different mental conditions, such as during cognitive tasks and watching movies. I am also interested in applying the methods to understand brain development and aging, as well as mental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

In Progress
Functional brain developments during movie watching and resting-state in autism spectrum disorder
NIH funded research project to study brain functional developments in typically developing children and children with autism spectrum disorder. In this project, we will analyze a large-scale open-access fMRI dataset where the participants underwent fMRI using movie watching and resting-state paradigms.
