Research Interests:
As an undergraduate, I investigated comorbidities between alcohol use disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. During my post-graduate years, I worked in a systems neuroscience lab exploring the cellular and circuit dysfunction associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder characterized by involuntary movements of the face, mouth, and upper extremities. I would like to continue studying the biological mechanisms behind neurological diseases during my graduate study.
