I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, where I also work on the Knowledge Mobilization team at the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI). I have previously been a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Data Sciences Institute of the University of Toronto, and a researcher working with the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Team at IBM Research. I completed my PhD in Psychology (Cognition & Perception) at New York University and my Bachelor of Science, in Neuroscience, at Dalhousie University. 

My research examines how the human brain takes in and transforms sensory information, such as the sights and sounds around us, to create lasting memories that we can recall later in time. My work focuses specifically on roles of neuronal oscillations and active vision, and aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of the brain systems that form and retrieve memories, one eye movement at a time.

To do this, I design naturalistic experiments that probe visual cognition and memory, and collect neurophysiological or brain imaging data alongside simultaneous eye-tracking. This allows me to develop theories of how memories are formed "in the real world", as well as what might go wrong in disorders and diseases that affect memory, using enjoyable experiments in the lab. I build data pre-processing and analysis pipelines in Python, integrating models from machine learning and artificial intelligence to understand the resulting data.
