Ezra is a doctoral student in the Cognition & Neuroscience program at UT Dallas, working in the Wig Neuroimaging Lab at the Center for Vital Longevity. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois in 2017 with a BS in molecular/cellular biology and a minor in computer science. Ezra’s research is centered on the organization of fMRI-derived resting-state functional connectivity networks. Specifically, he is interested in the nature of spontaneous large-scale network reorganizations; his current work leverages animal-based network models to better understand the aging brain.
