I'm a Principal Investigator of Neuroscience, specializing in computational biology and quantitative approaches to understanding mechanisms of action in the brain. I've established a successful research program studying the neural circuits underlying behavior and homeostasis, supported by NIH/NSF funding, with publications in Cell, eLife, and Journal of Gerontology.
I'm currently seeking new opportunities where I can apply my expertise in computational neuroscience and team leadership to directly impact patients living with disorders of the nervous system. I'm particularly excited by roles focused on identifying therapeutic targets and biomarkers and developing impactful medicines and diagnostics.
