Doug Dean, III, PhD

Doug is an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Medical Physics. He earned his PhD from Brown University and completed his post-doctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the development and application of novel quantitative magnetic resonance imaging methods to measure and evaluate the brain structure throughout early development and aging. His current research is focused on examining how the white matter microstructure of the brain develops across early development and how these microstructural processes are related to changes in cognition and brain development in neurodevelopmental disorders. Outside of work, Doug enjoys spending time with his wife, two kids and dogs.
