For more than a decade, I have been devoted to the problem of how populations of neurons across the brain work together to produce cognition and the complex behavior that depends on it.

To do this, I use (and help develop) state-of-the-art tools for electrophysiological recording of thousands of neurons across the brain so we can measure the conversation that these neural populations are having in real-time in rodents performing carefully controlled decision making tasks.

I then leverage tools for statistical data analysis, signal processing and computational modeling to understand how this conversation represents information about the outside world and makes decisions based on that input.

Currently I am an associate research scholar in the Brody Lab at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Before that, I did my PhD research with Bruce Cumming at the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research at the NIH.
