About Me

In September 2025, I will begin my PhD in Biological Sciences at UC San Diego!

My research focuses on mathematical modeling of cognitive functions, exploring how the brain’s unique representations emerge and give rise to complex behaviors. You can find more details in the Publications section.

To learn more about me, feel free to explore the Activities and Hobbies sections!
