I'm an MPhil candidate in Cognitive Neurosciences at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge. I am also a researcher in the Brain, Language and Bilingualism lab under the supervision of Prof. Mirjana Božić in the Psychology department.
Previously, I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science from Lehigh University, USA.
I am currently open to research assistant roles in cognitive neuroscience from July 2026.

Research
CVMy research focuses on bilingualism and selective attention.
Current work explores:
- Cortical tracking of linguistic features during speech comprehension (i.e. phonotactic probability, lexical surprisal, syntactic complexity)
- How frequency of second-language (L2) use modulates neural encoding of speech under a selective attention paradigm
- Forward and backward mTRF modelling of EEG to characterise encoding at multiple levels of linguistic representation
Previous research experience includes:
- Decoding temporal properties of visual stimuli from population-level dynamics captured by 2-photon calcium imaging of rodent primary visual cortex
- Modelling longitudinal fMRI data with variational autoencoders to disentangle Alzheimer's-specific neurodegeneration from healthy ageing trajectories
- Time-series based supervised anomaly detection in production systems, including the design and execution of experiments with artificially induced anomalies
