Hi! I'm a sophomore at UCSD studying Neurobiology and Computer Science. I'm obsessed with the biological mechanism and technological potential of the brain. I joined the Chalasani Lab at Salk Institute in 2022, studying the foraging behavior of C. elegans. I'm also an undergraduate CSE tutor at UCSD, helping students debug codes during one-on-one tutor sessions. Throughout my experience, I found my enthusiasm in work with the charm of unpredictabilities and challenges that have meaningful impacts, and I hope to help people in creative ways with my interdisciplinary background.
