About Me

Dr. Wilson is a faculty member in the Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry, where she works closely with Drs. Susan Morgello and Schahram Akbarian. She is a computational neuroscientist with expertise in comparative neuroanatomy and scalable data analysis of large brain datasets.

Her past work has focused on comparing anatomical brain connectivity patterns under various conditions, using electron-microscopy-generated digital brain image volumes (a field known as “electron microscopy connectomics”). She has published several original research papers based on these datasets that highlight properties of brain organization during postnatal development and young adulthood. She has collaborated with researchers from the Broad Institute, Allen Institute for Brain Science, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Baylor College of Medicine, and Harvard University on this work. Dr. Wilson performed postdoctoral training at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, and holds a PhD in physics from Harvard University.
