Biography

I’m excited to share that I will be joining the University of Utah School of Biological Sciences as an Assistant Professor this December! My lab will investigate decision-making, attention, and learning using innovative tools and frameworks from systems and computational neuroscience.

I will be recruiting lab members at all levels. Prospective postdocs and technicians are encouraged to contact me directly.

I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher in Carlos Brody's lab at Princeton. I use new electrophysiological tools to simultaneously record thousands of neurons across multiple brain regions while rats perform well-controlled cognitive tasks. To relate this massive population activity to complex behavior, I develop new machine learning tools to discover interpretable population-level dynamics to adjudicate between competing hypotheses and precisely predict behaviorally-relevant mental transitions.
