I received my B.S. in Computational and Cognitive Neurosciences from The Ohio State University in 2022. I started my PhD the following fall and am currently working with Dr. Noelle and Dr. Ryskin in the Cognitive and Information Sciences department.
I am interested in the neural mechanisms of language and other cognitive processes of the prefrontal cortex. Integrating neuroimaging and computational modeling approaches is important for unraveling the intricate workings of the prefrontal cortex and its role in language and cognitive processes. This multifaceted approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding, bridging the gap between real-time neural activities and the intricate computational algorithms that underlie language and cognition.
