Description of Clinical Expertise
I am a pediatric cardiologist with expertise in both general cardiology outpatient care as well as echocardiography. I treat pediatric patients with both congenital and acquired heart disease.Description of Research Expertise
My laboratory is interested in developing novel optical neuroimaging techniques to better understand pediatric neurodevelopment and its disruption by pediatric diseases (congenital heart disease, prematurity, stroke). Namely, we use optical intrinsic signal (OIS) imaging and diffuse optical tomography (DOT) along with resting-state methods such as functional connectivity. This combination of methods allows true bench-to-bedside neuroimaging. Specifically, my laboratory is interested in analytical technique development, animal models of pediatric disease, and translational studies in humans.Selected Publications
