    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    I joined UAMS as in 2009 as a founding faculty member of the UAMS Brain Imaging Research Center, Arkansas's first research-dedicated human MRI research center. As the BIRC's interim Director and a Professor in Psychiatry and Neurology, my research focuses on advancing neuroimaging methodology to better understand how the human brain encodes individual variance in cognition. By modeling these brain-behavior relationships in normative samples, I seek to identify patterns of functional brain organization that encode risk for and recovery from psychiatric and neurologic disorders including addiction, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, and depression.
