Ines is a graduate student in the Cognitive Neuroscience Masters program at CUNY’s Graduate Center. She has a prior career as a psychotherapist specialized in using somatic and trauma-informed techniques. In her current graduate studies, she is examining how cerebrovascular reactivity relates to other metrics that are used to diagnose TBI, with the broader intention of supporting effective intervention.
Hello, my name is Kelvin Adom, I am from Ghana, West Africa and I am a Master’s student at the Graduate Center and I joined Dr. Junghoon Kim’s Clinical Neuroimaging Laboratory in 2020. I am currently studying the longitudinal morphometry of the hippocampus during the first year after traumatic brain injury in an attempt to reveal the different neuromodulation mechanisms involved in longitudinal hippocampal atrophy.
I enjoy weightlifting (fun fact: Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the father of modern-day neuroscience and one of my heroes was also a weightlifter), collecting vinyl records, reading philosophical works (currently I am reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius), and spending time with friends and family.
I lost my best friend to brain cancer in 2013 and this motivated my initial desire to learn about the brain and pursue a Master’s in Neuroscience, in the future I wish to attend medical school and become a Neurologist and use my knowledge of the brain and passion for helping people to be a transformative factor for the people in my community and second home of Philadelphia.
