I am an MD PHD student in the University of Pittsburgh & Carnegie Mellon University Medical Scientist Training Program. My professional interests lie at the intersection of psychiatry, computational neuroscience and machine learning. I aim to precisely characterize information processing in the brain underlying healthy states and understand how they differ in disease. Leveraging this knowledge will enable development of more effective approaches in psychiatric care.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in the Program in Neural Computation at CMU where my training comprises analytical and experimental arms in systems computational neuroscience. Wth my advisors Steve Chase, Aaron Batista & Byron Yu, I study the neural basis of motor action and learning in subdivisions of the macaque motor cortex using brain computer interfaces.
