I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Salk Institute (PI: Dr. Terry Sejnowski) and the US Army Research lab (PI: Dr. Javi Garcia). I received my Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Mathematics from Middlebury College. I completed my Master's degree and PhD in Neurosciences with a specialization in Computational Neurosciences at University of California, San Diego in 2020 (PIs: Dr. John Serences & Dr. Larry Squire). My PhD research focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of perception, decision making and learning under uncertainty. Specifically, I worked with healthy individuals and patients with lesions in the medial temporal lobes to examine the neural dynamics that underlie probabilistic perceptual decision making and statistical learning in the human brain. My postdoctoral research further investigates these cognitive functions by leveraging various computational tools such as nonlinear dynamical-system based methods, recurrent neural networks, and graph network analyses.
