Education:

B.A. Oberlin College (2014)

Current Position:

7th Year MSTP

5th Year Grad Student

Advisor:

Alfredo Fontanini

Graduate Program:

Neurobiology and Behavior

Research Interest:

In general, I am interested in using two photon imaging and other cutting-edge techniques to understand mechanistic links between neural circuitry and behavior with the goal of learning how dysfunctions at the level of neural circuits can lead to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.
