Selena Wang develops statistical and machine-learning methods to analyze brain imaging data, focusing on how brain networks connect and how these connections relate to behavior, genetics, and disease. A major application area is Alzheimer's disease and dementia, where the work models tau protein spread, cognitive decline, and disease progression. The research bridges neuroscience with quantitative fields such as biostatistics, psychometrics, and network science.
