About me

Link to ORCID
Link to CV
I'm a neuroscientist based in the Boston area with a background in systems neuroscience. I received my PhD from Brandeis University under Prof. Donald Katz. For my dissertation, I characterized rapid changes in taste perception across familiarization to novel taste, using in-vivo electrophysiology and behavior in rats.

I am currently seeking a postdoctoral research position in the Boston area.

My research interests include studying the role of 🧠brain-circuit dynamics🌪 in ⬅️decision-making➡️, 🕵️learning and memory💾, and individual differences🧩 in behavior.

Showcase:

Data analysis software

Python

  • blechpy: software for spike-sorting and analyzing electrophysiology data in the Katz lab, co-developed with Roshan Nanu.
  • pyBAKS: software for rate estimation of binary events/neuronal spikes using the BAKS algorithm, originally developed by Nur Ahmadi.
  • [COMING SOON] cuedtaste: software for controlling and training a restaurant-style go/no-go task for rats, co-developed with Emma Barash.

MATLAB

  • blechBayes: software for Bayesian classification of taste responses for in-vivo electrophysiology data

R

  • [COMING SOON] repsubsamp: software for extracting sub-samples of rows from dataframes that are statistically representative of the original data

3D-printable tools (designed in Solidworks, for printing on Formlabs SLA printers)

  • blech shuttledrive: adaptation of the open-ephys shuttle-drive for bilaterally targeting gustatory cortex with 64 individual electrodes.
  • OEPS64 headstage housing: a headstage protector and stabilizer for the open-ephys 64-channel hirose-connector headstage
  • [COMING SOON] davis-rig fan-snorkel: a fan snorkel that creates an air curtain between an animal and a lick-spout in the Davis-rig, to prevent the animal from smelling the taste stimulus.
