I’m currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Western University, working with Dr. Ingrid Johnsrude (CoNCH Lab) and Dr. Ali Khan (Khan Lab). I also contribute to the BrainsCAN Computational Research Infrastructure Core. I completed my M.Sc. in Neuroscience and hold a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
- Cognitive Neuroscience — exploring neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, especially using naturalistic stimuli in hearing and speech contexts
- Computational Neuroscience — modeling auditory and speech processing within the brain
- Neuroimaging — studying neural bases of auditory and speech functions via imaging tools, with an eye toward clinical applications
I’m always open to collaborations and discussions — feel free to reach out if you’re working on something similar or have interesting ideas!
