Research Interests:
-
Concussion assessment and rehabilitation
-
Quantitative pain assessment
-
Neuroimaging
Biography:
Ethan obtained his Ph.D. from the School of Biomedical Engineering at McMaster University in 2022. He completed his M.Sc. in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph in 2018, and his B.Sc. Honours in Human Kinetics at the University of Guelph in 2017.
Ethan’s Ph.D. work focused on objective and quantitative assessment of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in a cohort of retired professional athletes with a complex history of concussive and repetitive sub-concussive impacts. During this time, Ethan received multiple awards that included the OGS Program and QEII-GSST scholarship, Yates Scholarship Fund at McMaster University, and the Best Neuro Diffusion Presentation at the annual 2021 ISMRM meeting.
As a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Q-Pain lab, Ethan continues his work on quantitative concussion assessment and is researching the underlying mechanisms of chronic pain effects in the brain.
