  • Participated in a 10 week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at Marquette University under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Rowe.\n• Worked on a project that used regression analysis to analyze the information received from an MRI in order to locate the voxels in the brain responsible for certain motor functions.\n• Looked at individual voxels and measured how their activation levels changed over time

  with periods of inactivity and activity with regards to specific motor functions.\n• Created images to simultaneously show both the anatomical structure of the brain and the activity levels recorded in each voxel.
