I study how modifiable factors contribute to the process of cognitive and brain aging, using multimodal MRI data. I am interested in the neural underpinnings associated with both protective behaviors, such as physical activity, and risk factors, such as hypertension. In addition to traditional lifestyle factors, I also explore environmental factors, such as the greenspace exposure. I am dedicated to construct a mechanistic understanding of the neurobiological features behind these modifiable factors, and provide insights in designing preventive interventions for the aging population.
