I am a Research Faculty member at Georgia Institute of Technology. I co-direct the Structured Information for Precision Neuroengineering Lab within the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I work at the intersection of neurotechnology and psychiatry with the aim of developing brain stimulation therapies for psychiatric disorders.
I received my PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I was a post-doctoral research associate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working in the Carolina Center for Neurostimulation (spun off from Frohlich Lab). I enjoy photography, travel (to a certain extent) and (re)learning history.
Research Experience
Research Scientist II
Oct 2022 - Present
Co-directing SIPLab @ Georgia Tech, supervising graduate and undergraduate students
Investigating neural and multimodal markers of effort-based decision-making in humans
Research Engineer II
Nov 2018 - Sep 2022
Investigated chronic local field potential from subcallosal cingulate cortex for biomarkers that track depression for optimizing deep brain stimulation
Postdoctoral Research Associate
May 2014 - Oct 2018
Investigated how electrical stimulation shapes cortical oscillations and consequently behavior in humans using intracranial and scalp electroencephalography(EEG), direct cortical stimulation and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).
Graduate Research Assistant
Aug 2008 - May 2014
Investigated how structure imposed on in vitro networks of neurons using micropatterning and microfluidic devices affected information processing and functional connectivity.
