Dr. Schulz is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. He has been using functional magnetic imaging resonance (fMRI) techniques to investigate self-regulatory mechanisms in children and adolescents with ADHD, as well as the effects of pharmacological treatments on these mechanisms. Dr. Schulz's main research interest lies in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms responsible for the developmental change, remission, and escalation of symptomatology commonly seen in childhood psychiatric disorders.
