My research focuses on advancing Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) technology to improve its sensitivity, robustness, and efficiency, specifically for pediatric brain imaging.  By developing novel MR hardware and sequences, my goal is to create a reliable, multimodal MRSI/MRI platform capable of capturing the unique and evolving brain chemistry in pediatric populations, which can provide new insights into brain maturation and the underlying mechanisms of developmental disorders.
