School/Affiliation University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Major Sensorimotor Neurotechnology
Expected Graduation Date 2023
Biosketch My academic background mainly consists of biology and neuroscience, but I am branching into the fields of biomedical engineering and computer science and engineering. My prior research experience is of fibophotometry and behavioral neuroscience. I am interested mainly in the research and development of an interface between the sensorimotor aspects of the nervous system and computer systems. Ideally this would be achieved with a noninvasive method. I plan to attend graduate school to pursue this interest and to research the technology in grad school and after. In my free time, I enjoy video games with friends, playing with my cats, and practicing martial arts.
