Ansel obtained a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2014. His research program features core areas of translational characterization of novel PET radiotracers and developing new imaging paradigms to improve quantification in brain neurobiology. He conducts human neuroimaging research focused on studying the mechanisms underlying diverse psychiatric conditions. His research efforts are complemented by didactic activities such as lecturing at Yale and mentoring trainees. Current projects include characterizing novel PET radiotracers for immune-related targets in the brain, developing novel imaging paradigms to study acute alcohol effects on neuroimmune glutamate systems, and assessing dopamine release from smoked cannabis. Additionally, he is involved in method development for analyzing multimodal imaging data, including fMRI-PET and PET-PET datasets, and implementing Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to identify sources of PET radiotracer uptake.
