My current research project is looking at the effect of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) treatments on withdrawal symptoms for smokers by utilizing resting-state fMRI imaging and analysis techniques to determine imaging biomarkers that can be monitored for future treatments. I'm currenting exploring static and dynamic measures of functional connectivity and sample entropy for whole brain parcellations and how they alter due to singe-session rTMS.
I am primary interested in migraine, chronic pain, and opioid use disorder, however all neurological disorders interest me for future endeavors. My goal is apply new methods of imaging and analysis as well as neuromodulation to these conditions to hopefully explain more fully how they work and potentially treat them.
