I am a graduate student investigating the basic computations of perception using two-photon holography in mouse neocortex. I work in Dr. Mark Histed's group at NIMH. Before coming to the University of Maryland, I studied neuroscience at Colorado College for my bachelor's degree, later joining Dr. Chris Moore's lab at Brown University as a research assistant. At Brown, I worked with the Bioluminescence Hub, developing tools that use bioluminescent light to drive and report cell activity. You can find some of my writing here.

I love open science and science education.
