Hi! I am a neuroscientist interested in how populations of neurons change their activity during learning, a topic I approach using techniques from statistics and machine learning.

I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine. Before that, I was a postdoc at Harvard University with Sam Gershman, where I studied the neural representations of reinforcement learning. I got my Ph.D. in neural computation and machine learning at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied learning using brain-computer interfaces with Byron Yu, Steve Chase, and Aaron Batista.
