For me, home is: Setauket, NY
Undergraduate degree(s): B.S. in Computation and Cognition (MIT 2023)
Research experience before PiN: Before college, I studied neural population coding in the visual system at Stony Brook University as a 2017 Simons Summer Research Fellow. As an undergraduate at MIT, I studied the effects of sleep and dreams on creativity with the Fluid Interfaces group at the MIT Media Lab and the Center for Sleep and Cognition at BIDMC. Before PiN, I studied representational drift in the visual system as an intern at the Allen Institute.
Current research interests: systems neuroscience, sleep, learning and memory, drift, brain/body connection
Interests outside lab: making art, running, enjoying the outdoors, exploring yummy recipes and restaurants
