Neuroscience across molecules, circuits, and behavior.

My current work asks how patterns of brain-wide activity shape behavior and what causes those patterns to change.

I combine a futility-induced virtual-reality assay with whole-brain imaging and circuit perturbations. I also use drugs to alter neurotransmitter pathways and follow the consequences from cellular signaling to behavior.

Before my PhD, I worked in chemical biology, developmental imaging, sonogenetics, and bioelectricity. That training shaped the cross-scale approach I use now.
