Research Interests

Research Interests

My research centers on PET/MRI multimodal imaging to capture high-dimensional signatures of neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions. We fuse deep learning, graph-based methods, and quantitative feature extraction with PET/MRI biomarkers to recover low-dose PET, identify network alterations, and isolate the signals most closely tied to cognition and behavior. The goal is to translate these imaging+AI signatures into predictive biomarkers that support earlier intervention, more precise monitoring, and tighter integration with clinical decision pathways.
