Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how brain imaging (especially functional and diffusion MRI) and behavioral measures such as eye movements and speech can be used to detect and track traumatic brain injury and concussion, particularly in contact-sport athletes. The work also touches on auditory neuroscience (fMRI of hearing and cochlear implants) and, more recently, machine learning applications to orthopedic surgical outcomes. Overall the research combines neuroimaging, biomedical signal processing, and predictive modeling to understand and monitor brain and musculoskeletal injuries.
