Sarah joined the ABCD research laboratory as a Postdoctoral Fellow in February 2021. She completed a PhD in Neurosciences at Université de Aix-Marseille. During her PhD she developed an expertise in functional MRI technique as a proxy to study neural and motor development. During her postdoctoral training, Sarah is interested in using a variety of quantitative structural MRI techniques to characterize brain growth in a variety of clinical populations. In her free time, she enjoys doing sport in particular basketball, reading, listening to music, and cooking.

Nan-Hao joined the ABCD Research Lab in August 2023 as a PhD student in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill University. He obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees through the dual Bachelor-Master program at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, majoring in Biomedical Engineering. He is interested in developing novel neuroimaging techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and applying them to monitor microstructural alterations in the human brain. In his current research, he employs MRI to investigate myelinic and neuronal changes within the brains of patients with neonatal encephalopathy. Outside of the lab, Nan-Hao enjoys playing badminton, listening to music, and spending time with his friends.

Camille joined the ABCD Research Lab as a Master’s student in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill University in August 2022. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree from McGill University, where she majored in Psychology and minored in Interdisciplinary Life Sciences. For her MSc project, she uses magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the effects of respiratory morbidities on the development of the hippocampus and its subfields in preterm neonates during infancy. Outside of the lab, Camille enjoys staying active, reading and spending time with her friends, her family, and her cat.
