I have 23 years of experience, and specialize in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), with specific knowledge in the areas of spectroscopy, metabolism, and mathematical modeling. I have published on such topics as brain metabolism of glucose and acetate, neurochemical changes in psychiatric disorders and effects of nicotine, and alcohol on neurochemistry. What I have treasured the most is the gathering of information from diverse fields to obtain ideas and find the best solutions to our experimental and conceptual needs. In this field, we incorporate biology, engineering, mathematics, and even work with wood, plastic, and solder to arrive at what we need.
