I am a neuroscientist interested in the structure, function, and evolution of sensory and motor circuits. My research combines in vivo physiology, behavior, computational modeling, and comparative approaches to reveal basic principles of neural coding. As a postdoc with Mala Murthy at Princeton University, I am investigating auditory processing and genetic specification of courtship songs in fruit flies. During my PhD with Bruce Carlson at Washington University in St. Louis, I studied peripheral and central mechanisms of sensory processing in a pathway responsible for communication signal detection in weakly electric fishes.

As of January 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at NC State University.
