Brooke is a Ph.D. student in neuroscience working under the co-supervision of Prof. Robert Knight and Prof. Ming Hsu. Most broadly, Brooke hopes to apply computational neuroimaging methods in order to improve mental health treatment and maintenance. Her dissertation research uses intracranial EEG and computational modeling to study the neurobiology of anxiety. In her pre-doctoral work, Brooke used statistical and machine learning methods to look for meaningful treatment groups across a wide range of mental health diagnoses. Brooke received her B.S. in mathematics from George Washington University and was awarded the NSF GRFP in 2021.
