Neuroscientist & Photographer

My research asks how the brain's physical wiring shapes its function, and what happens when that wiring is disrupted. Using advanced neuroimaging tools and artificial intelligence, I study the links between white matter pathways and visuospatial learning, motor function, and mental health more broadly.

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at Rutgers University. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College London and a Visiting Researcher at the Donders Institute, Radboud University. I hold a PhD in Neuroimaging and an MSc in Neuroscience from King's College London, and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the American University of Beirut.

Outside the lab, I am a photographer. I am drawn to landscapes and cityscapes where there is motion most people walk past without noticing: drifting clouds, flowing water, crowds in transit. Using long exposures and photo stacking, I try to make that motion visible. This is not separate from the science: long exposure photography is what first made me curious about how the brain processes dynamic visual information, and that question has stayed with me since.
