Education
Ph.D. 2007.HarvardUniversity,CambridgeMA(Biophysics).Advisor: David, A. Boas, Ph.D (Associate Professor of Radiology; Harvard MedicalSchool) “Hemodynamic-Based Inference of Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism” (ThesisTitle) Summary: The purpose of this work was to develop advanced methods forimproving theestimateofCMRO2 fromhemodynamic-based imagingmethodssuchas functional MRI and non-invasive optical (NIRS) imaging using vascular model-baseddatafusionmethods.

ResearchOverview
Mylabworksondiffuseopticalspectroscopymethods.Specifically,biologicaltissuehaslowopticalabsorptiontoredtonear-infraredlight,whichallowslightatthesewavelengthstobedirectednon-invasively into tissue where it can travel (diffusely) up to several centimeters. This techniqueallowsimagingofspecificchromophoreconcentrationssuchashemoglobinandlipidfromsensorsplacedonthesurfaceoftheskin. Mylabdevelopsinstrumentationanddataanalysismethodsforcollectingnear-infraredsignalsforbothmusclephysiologyandbrainimagingapplications. Inthebrain,near-infraredlightcanbeusedtonon-invasivelymeasureabout5-8mmintothecortexofthebrainandisusedinbothclinicalmonitoring/assessmentandfunctionalneuroscienceapplications.This is aportableand low-cost alternative tomethods like fMRIandhasbeenwidelyadopted inspecificapplicationssuchasneuroimagingofmovementdisorders,childpsychology,andbedsidemonitoringwhere fMRImethods are less applicable. My lab primarily focuses on novelmethoddevelopment (particularly digital signal processing, image reconstruction, and analysismethods)and we collaborate with numerous groups worldwide to apply this technology. In particular, Iwrote the open source analysis package used widely by this community (with currently 1,600registeredusers)andamafoundingboardmemberforthesocietyforfunctionalNIRS.
