I am interested in using diffusion imaging to reconstruct white matter pathways in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex. 

Currently I am working on modelling the short association fibers in the prefrontal cortex using diffusion tractography, with the goal to reconstruct short-range cortical connections that have been previously described in non-human primate histology.
