My research uses new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and brain monitoring techniques to identify how early-life brain injury, clinical illness, and social determinants of health impact neurodevelopment in newborns at high risk for developmental disabilities. I am also interested in understanding long-term developmental trajectories in children with early-life brain injury. Understanding what factors impact brain development may point to new strategies for promoting long-term brain health in high-risk infants.
