I am now a software developer and am no longer working as an academic neuroscientist. This page is left up as an archive. For a more up-to-date career profile, visit my LinkedIn profile.
I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the German Primate Center
(Deutsches Primatenzentrum) in the Neurobiology Laboratory headed by Hans
Scherberger. My current projects are listed here, but to summarize: I studied the topic of
motor simulation, that is, the putative replay of movement-related
activity patterns that can occur even when we don’t move. I was involved
in a project to demonstrate a closed-loop brain-computer interface in
non-human primates.
I received my Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience in December 2018
from the University of Chicago, where I worked in the laboratory headed
by Sliman Bensmaia. I studied
grasping, the cortical signals related to proprioception and motor
control of the hand, and the perception of touch and proprioception in
the hands.
I graduated from Drexel University in 2013 with a BS and MS in Biomedical Engineering. There, I worked in the laboratory headed by Karen Moxon (currently UC Davis) on the feasibility of using epidural spinal cord stimulation in brain-computer interface applications.
