About

Hello!

I’m a senior at Rice University studying Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Cognitive Science.

My research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience and engineering. I am currently conducting research at the Rice Neuroengineering Initiative with Dr. Jerzy Szablowski and at the University of Washington Center for Neurotechnology with Dr. Amy Orsborn. Previously, I conducted research at the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education with Drs. Lauren Eggert, Malathi Srinivasan, and Shanthi Kappagoda as a 2021 Stanford CARE Scholar.

I have received the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Sigma Xi Grant in Aid of Research for my research. My work has culminated in published work in journals such as The Lancet Global Health and the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine as well as presentations at conferences such as the American Thoracic Society International Conference, Consortium of Universities for Global Health Conference, National Conference on Undergraduate Research, and Society of General Internal Medicine.

Beyond my research work, I am the co-founder and co-president of Rice’s Neurotechology Club, co-founder and Vice President of the Rice Cubing Club, an Academic Fellow for Lovett College, a Peer Academic Advisor, Peer Research Ambassador for Rice’s Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry, and a Scientific Communication Coach with Rice’s Center for Academic and Professional Communication.

Outside of my academic endeavors, I enjoy speedsolving Rubik’s Cubes, playing soccer, cooking, and reading.
