Affiliation
Postdoctoral Associate at the Brain Computation & Behavior Lab, Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell University, working under the supervision of Dr. Antonio Fernández-Ruiz and Dr. Azahara Oliva.
Visiting Researcher at the Haptic Perception and Cognitive Physiology Laboratory, RIKEN CBS.
Research Interest
Neural Implementation of Natural Intelligence.
My work explores the intersection of neural computation and dynamic behavior. By integrating large-scale multi-region neural recordings, computational modeling, and precise circuit manipulations, I aim to decode the biological algorithms underlying memory, learning, and flexible intelligence.
