His work combines neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG, DTI) with behavioral measures, investigating topics such as biological motion perception, working memory, and the impact of stress on brain connectivity. He advises multiple students and has authored numerous publications across journals like Cerebral Cortex and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Recent research highlights include studies on resting-state networks in youth with behavioral issues, disruptions in eye gaze processing across disorders, and sex differences in brain structure linked to disruptive behavior.
