About
I'm a Research Fellow at MIT and a Teaching Fellow at Harvard Medical School
I received my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley in 2022 where I used machine learning to build maps and models of the human cerebellum using large-scale neuroimaging datasets.
At MIT, I'm using computational approaches and large clinical databases to identify risk predictors of neurodevelopmental (e.g., ADHD, ASD) and psychiatric (e.g., suicide attempt) disorders.
As a managing editor at MIT Science Policy Review, I'm also passionate about making science accessible to the public and communicating complex ideas.
In the interest of transparency and accountability, I document the progress I'm making on current MIT projects here.
I am relocating to Dublin, Ireland in June 2025 and I'm looking to leverage my vast experience in data- and hypothesis-driven science to solve problems that contribute to meaningful advancements that serve the public good.
