Using neural data to understand cognition and its dysfunction, improving diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Incoming PhD student in Fall 2026 for the Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering PhD program, under the Neuroengineering sector.
Collected and monitored EEG, EOG, EKG, GSR, and 3-D spatial data from 160 participants for study on pre-conscious biosignals of depression and suicidal ideation in college students. Received funding 3 times via USC's Provost Fellowship to lead independent project that improved neural fingerprinting of resting-state EEG data and identify neural correlates of depression and suicidality under mentorship of Dr. Takfarinas Medani and Dr. Richard Leahy. Presented at 2025 USC Undergraduate Research Symposium, 2025 ABRCMS Conference in San Antonio, and senior Neuroscience Honors Thesis.
Conducted independent research on graph theory applications of functional topology in developing neuronal cultures and cortical organoids under Dr. Alexander Dunn.
