Hong is interested in using neuroimaging to enhance our understanding of mechanisms for cognitive functions and how variations of the mechanism in individuals may lead to impairment or disorder such as schizophrenia.  Hong has a PhD in biophysics with industrial experience in software development and data management.  Hong performs analyses of BOLD activity, functional connectivity and white matter integrity using various computational tools with customization to ensure efficient data processing flow and consistency in data quality.    Hong is also involved in our pilot project that examines effects of cognitive remediation therapy on different subject groups.
