I was advised by Dr. Jack L. Gallant and my work focused on investigating the representations of visual area V4 neurons using a biologically plausible neural network.
Prior to this I received my Sc.B in Computational Neuroscience at Brown University. I was an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Thomas Serre's lab. I also had the opportunities to work with Dr. Aude Oliva at CSAIL, MIT, and Dr. Derek Stein and Dr. Jay Tang in the Physics department at Brown. As an undergraduate, I was supported as a QuestBridge Finalist and with a Champlin Foundations Scholarship.
