I am a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley at the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. I received my PhD at UC Berkeley in 2025 under the supervision of Dr. Bruno Olshausen. I develop computational models of visual processing. In particular, I’m interested in how neural circuits process form, color, and motion.

I received a B.S. in computer and systems engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2020. From 2018 to 2022, I worked with Dr. Peter Brunner adapting intracranial recording and neural stimulation devices for research use at the National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies in Albany, New York, and the Department of Neurosurgery at Washington University in St. Louis.
