Experience
Postdoctoral Scientist, Neurosurgery
Human intracranial research (bedside/OR), neural/behavioral task design, analysis pipelines, and cross‑team communication.
- Built from scratch cognitive control task for bedside/OR and online use (>100 participants); deployed across ~10 bedside patients and ~5 intra‑op sessions
- Beta‑tested next‑generation laminar probes in NHP and human intra‑operative settings; provided usability and signal‑quality feedback
- Authored SOPs/checklists; coordinated IRB submissions and amendments; prepared data briefs for clinical and engineering teams
- Standardized Python/MATLAB analysis pipelines; open‑sourced utility package on GitHub for reproducibility
Postdoctoral Fellow, Biomedical Engineering
Transition bridge from Ph.D. to postdoc; collaboration across clinical and engineering teams for research translation and human electrophysiology readiness.
- Programmed and operated Brainsight Vet neuronavigation/robotic guidance system for nonhuman primate procedures
- Planned targets/trajectories and integrated with task workflows
Ph.D. Candidate, Neuroscience
Large‑scale neurophysiology, adolescent development of working memory, longitudinal imaging, statistical modeling, and decoding & dynamical systems.
- First‑author publications: Nature Neuroscience (2025), iScience (2024), Journal of Neurophysiology (2023)
- Developed reproducible analysis pipelines for neuroimaging and electrophysiology data
- Mentored undergraduate and graduate students on analysis and experiment design
- Presented research at Society for Neuroscience, Vision Sciences Society, and CRCNS PI meetings
Ph.D. Candidate, Neuroscience
Research on cognitive development and working memory mechanisms through behavioral testing and neural recordings.
Research Assistant, Neurobiology
Studied molecular mechanisms of neural development, focusing on RNA modifications and axon guidance.
- Co-authored publications in PLOS Biology and Nucleic Acids Research
- Gained molecular biology and cell culture experience
