Neuroscience

Stats about me

I am currently optimizing the simultaneous use of calcium imaging and optogenetics in the Steinmetz lab. We also work with a team of control theory engineers to make a dynamical systems model of the brain, which will be used to predict outputs and design new optogenetic stimulation regimes.

Physiology and Biophysics

Stats about me

I am interested in how neural systems learn precise behaviors. To explore this area, I study how birds learn to sing with Adrienne Fairhall. I am currently building models of the song learning system to understand how variability assists in learning and how it is controlled to improve song performance.

I am passionate about software development, especially for BCI platforms. To study this, I am currently involved in research to develop an EEG prosthetic using collected brainwave data and deep learning models for classification. I hope to continue exploring software solutions to tackle imminent challenges in today's world.
