This early success guided me toward a degree in neuroscience at UT Austin, where I combined rigorous academic training with practical research.

While at UT Austin, I developed expertise in:

My PhD work at Washington University in St. Louis has further honed my ability to conceptualize and execute complex projects. I specialize in connecting machine learning and cognitive science, with particular focus on:

I thrive in environments that value innovation and cross-disciplinary approaches. My background combining technical implementation with theoretical understanding positions me to deliver insights that bridge cognitive science and practical applications.
