About

I'm an incoming graduate student at Harvard's PhD Program in Neuroscience. I'm broadly interested in exploring how complex biological systems organize to robustly support diverse computations. I hope to uncover general computational principles that span timescales and systems (both neural and non-neural). Some methods and tools I'm interested in exploring include graph theory, dynamical systems, and recurrent neural networks. I'm grateful to be supported by a Kempner Graduate Fellowship.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Yale University in 2024, where I double-majored in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry as well as Computer Science. While I was there, I studied neural computations in fruit fly motion detection with Damon Clark. I also spent two summers as a visiting student researcher in Michael Levin's lab at Tufts University where I studied the self-organization of neuronal cultures on a high-density microelectrode array system.

I'm currently interning at MaxWell Biosystems in Zürich, Switzerland for the next few months before starting my PhD in the fall.

Stay tuned for more updates! This website is still in development :)

News

April 2025 - I committed to Harvard's Program in Neuroscience for my PhD, where I'll be supported by a Kempner Graduate Fellowship. I'm incredibly excited to be part of such an exciting community of scholars, and I'm grateful that I'll be close to family and friends over the next few years :)

March 2025 - I presented a poster detailing my work on time-reversal symmetry breaking in vision (the aformentioned paper) at COSYNE 2025 in Montreal.

March 2025 - My very first paper, titled "Broken time-reversal symmetry in visual motion detection," was published in PNAS (featuring some photos of me hiking in Yosemite)! Many thanks to my PI, Damon Clark, and my co-first author, Baohua Zhou, for their mentorship. Access the PDF here.

February 2025 - I started an internship at MaxWell Biosystems in Zürich, Switzerland, where I'll be until August.

December 2024 - I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Yale University, where I studied Molecular Biophysics/Biochemistry and Computer Science.
