About

Biography

I am an Associate Professor of Neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. My research focuses on developing and validating quantitative biomarkers of disease progression in Huntington’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.

My current work centers on speech- and language-based digital biomarkers, cognitive paradigms sensitive to early disease change, and multimodal integration with neuroimaging and clinical measures. I conduct longitudinal observational studies and secondary analyses of large HD cohorts, with the goal of establishing scalable, objective markers that improve disease staging, track within-subject progression, and support clinical trials.

I have served as principal investigator on observational and biomarker-focused studies in neurodegenerative disease and have published multiple peer-reviewed articles on Huntington’s disease, cognition, and neuroimaging.
