 Overview 
 overview
My research interests focus on the application of new multi-modal imaging and multivariate data analysis methods to studies of drug abuse and psychiatric illness. My current efforts are focused on developing quantitative fMRI (perfusion and CMRO2) and simultaneous NIRS/fMRI in combination with multi-modal data fusion analysis methods to investigate brain functional connectivity during drug challenges and in drug-dependent and psychiatrically ill populations.
