He received his bachelor’s degree at Washington University in St. Louis, where he majored in biology and philosophy-neuroscience-psychology. He then went on to obtain his MD and PhD from the University of Kentucky, where he studied multimodal imaging in aging and preclinical Alzheimer’s disease associated with declines in executive functioning. After medical school, he joined Penn Neurology for his residency training.
