Over the years, I have dedicated myself to understanding how the brain makes sense of the world. I am someone who thrives on challenges, and one of my most thrilling goals is to complete a full marathon by setting ambitious targets and achieving them.
Academically, I am deeply passionate about using noninvasive neuroimaging methods, particularly fMRI, to investigate how humans process multi-sensory inputs and unravel the complexities of the human brain.
