I am a neuroscience researcher with an MD-PhD focusing on functional brain disorders. I enjoy exploring how neural circuits underpin health and disease, using functional imaging, electrophysiology, and neuromodulation to uncover actionable insights. I aim to map social isolation-induced neural connectivity and develop AI-driven approaches to phenotype behavior, hoping to translate discoveries into better therapies for neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.
