"I came to Hopkins because I was interested in medicine and math," says Nikhil, a sophomore working at the Center for Imaging Science. "We are interested in determining the different neurobiological correlates of psychological disorders and doing so using various statistical techniques such as Landmark matching on high resolution MRI's"…
