Leveraging a interdisciplinary approach to intelligent systems, I view traditional neuroscience and AI as interconnected facets in a unified pursuit for scientific discovery and sociotechnological progress. My work includes both biological, bioengineered, and artificial systems.
I enjoy considering various fields' perspectives -- especially through collaboration -- while using theoretical (e.g. information & control), computational, and experimental tools.
I am fortunate to be advised by Lav Varshney.
"If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts—physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on—remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for."
-Richard Feynman
