I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest Hospital in Toronto. I have previously been a Fellow at the Data Sciences Institute of the University of Toronto, a researcher working with the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Team at IBM Research, and a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at New York University.
I study 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 places a focus on the role of 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. I build and use data pre-processing and analysis pipelines in Python, often integrating models from machine learning and artificial intelligence research to understand the resulting data.
