Undergraduate Institution: University Of California, San Diego
Advisor: Matthew Kaufman

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering and Physics from UCSD and my Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from CMU. My passion for motor neuroscience drives my current research in understanding how the brain generates the control signals for manipulating the hand to grasp different objects.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, taking road trips, and reading about astronomy. In Chicago, I love swimming in the lake, playing beach/grass volleyball, and ice skating.
