Biography

As a Board Certified Neuroradiologist, I have expertise and interpret X-ray, CT, MR, and vascular imaging studies of the brain, face, neck, and spine. My specific area of research has been in imaging of epilepsy and pituitary disorders and I serve as the imaging specialist for the Yale Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and Yale Pituitary Service, as part of these multidisciplinary groups. My research on brain anatomy, seizures and epilepsy has impacted the fields of imaging of epilepsy, congenital developmental disorders (such as focal cortical dysplasia), and hippocampal & temporal lobe anatomy. As Director of Faculty Affairs, I oversee faculty career development for the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging; past administrative positions include Section Chief and Vice Chair during my career at Yale School of Medicine.

Research

Overview

My research has studied MR Imaging of patients with seizures, including imaging of surgical epilepsy group, normal brain variations, temporal lobe embryology and anatomy, post-operative brain changes, hippocampal sclerosis, focal cortical dysplasia, and brain malformations. Current research investigates whether machine learning techniques will improve imaging detection of brain disorders underlying epilepsy.

Other research investigations involve MR imaging of pituitary anomalies and disorders.

I have collaborated with many groups investigating the hippocampus or temporal lobe, which included publications on changes in these anatomy sites with PTSD, child abuse, and functional MRI language activation.
