Hello,

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a neuroscience researcher and a Ph.D. candidate in Imaging Science at Washington University McKelvey School of Engineering. I specialize in developing innovative neuroimaging paradigms to explore the mechanisms underlying spoken language processing. The main focus of my Ph.D. research is to enhance the capabilities of optical tomographic brain imaging techniques to conduct experiments that better represent everyday scenarios. Outside of research, you can find me volunteering at science outreach events or busy with one of my many ongoing arts/crafts projects.

I am currently seeking roles that will allow me to apply my skills and knowledge to solve real-world problems and create a positive impact.
