Sean is interested in utilizing neuroimaging methods(e.g., fMRI/MRI/ASL) to examine the effects of aberrant neurodevelopment (especially in cerebellar growth) on psychomotor functioning and symptom severityacross the psychosis spectrum.In this context, he is also interested in exploring the role of cerebellar-cortical connectivity in symptom onset and presentation.
Outside of the lab, Sean enjoys spending time in nature, playing video games, and watching sports!
