SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My interest in neuroscience is driven by the desire to understand the neural mechanisms behind the dynamic, feedback-driven nature of behaviour in real-world contexts. I am interested in exploring questions of learning, memory and intelligence– particularly in the sensorimotor context. I aim to learn to approach such questions using both wet lab and computational tools. In addition, I look forward to gaining insights into how malfunctions of these cognitive processes unfold in neurodegenerative disorders and the clinical and translational approach to treatment.
