About
I am a PhD student in Mac Shine's lab, where my research focuses on developing biologically plausible computational models of the brainstem neuromodulatory systems. My work aims to better understand how these systems shape cognition, behavior, and large-scale brain dynamics by integrating insights from neuroscience, computational modeling, and theory. Before beginning my PhD, I spent a brief period working in industry, where I gained experience applying technical and analytical skills to real-world problems. This experience broadened my perspective and reinforced my interest in pursuing fundamental research at the intersection of neuroscience and computation. Through my research, I seek to bridge biologically grounded neural mechanisms with computational approaches, contributing to a deeper understanding of how neuromodulatory systems support adaptive cognition and behavior.
