Jan25_Rajesh,Aishwarya_CV.pdfI see myself as a knowledge artisan and treat my work as a craft - a bridge between between knowledge and human experience. In this sense, my approach to research is far from mechanistic —I strive to stay connected to the human stories behind the data, transforming raw data into meaningful insight, bridging the empirical with the emotional, and the individual with the collective.
At the Washington University in St. Louis- School of Medicine, I engage in precision neuroimaging research that is primarily focused on individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Here, my research program is guided by the following questions:
How do long-term brain changes following TBI contribute to emotional vulnerability?
What do these brain changes reveal about the brain’s adaptive processes?

Executive function
Biopsychosocial sequelae (e.g., apathy after TBI)
Psychosocial lifestyle interventions (e.g., theater acting) and microinterventions (e.g., naming emotions)
