About Me

I’m a researcher in cognitive science, exploring how we can model and understand the brain’s complex processes using technology. My work focuses on building tools and systems that mimic aspects of human thought and learning, aiming to make AI more efficient and adaptable. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate on projects that bring together elements of neuroscience, computer science, and engineering, with a focus on creating practical, impactful applications. Whether in research or in the classroom, I’m driven by a curiosity to understand intelligence and to share that excitement with others.
