معرفی
Janice Hau, Ph.D., is a Research Professor in the Department of Psychology at San Diego State University (SDSU), within the College of Sciences. Her expertise lies in diffusion MRI, neuroanatomy, white matter studies, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She earned her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Bordeaux, focusing on white matter pathway anatomy and variability. Her current research integrates diffusion MRI with functional imaging to investigate structural connectivity in ASD across the lifespan, emphasizing cognitive and neuroanatomical correlates.
Dr. Hau’s work spans methodological advancements in tractography and the application of neuroimaging tools to study ASD. She has contributed to understanding atypical brain connectivity in mature adults with ASD through studies on glymphatic activity, sensorimotor pathways, and cortical terminations of key tracts. Her research often addresses aging-related changes in neuroanatomy and their implications for ASD symptomatology.
Her projects involve collaborations on MRI techniques and reproducibility in tractography, as seen in the Tractostorm framework. While no formal advisees are listed, her work mentors students indirectly through research participation and SDSU programs. She is affiliated with labs focused on brain imaging and ASD, though specific lab names are not explicitly mentioned in the text.
