Biography & Research:
Jack is a clinical researcher within the Department of Psychiatry at Penn, specifically its Forensic Neuropsychiatry Service. As a scientist with a behavioral and neurosciences background, he values knowledge guided by empirical inquiry and rational thought intended to improve the human condition. Within clinical research, Jack harbors specific interests in the effects of neurodevelopment on human behavior and how various technologies may help to prevent, diagnosis, and/or treat neurologic and -psychiatric disorders. To this end, he is involved in exploiting neuroimaging tools for “deep phenotyping” of brain and behavioral parameters using computerized acquisition tools that can integrate cognitive and clinical measures with neuroimaging and genomic data within the framework of large, multicenter studies, including but not limited to those related to NASA spaceflight. Additionally, he assists with medicolegal evaluations within the Forensic Neuropsychiatry Service, wherein an understanding of brain function may be of value to individuals involved in litigation for capital offenses.
