Biography

I am a postdoc researcher investigating how different brain oscillations contribute to memory in the healthy population and patients with schizophrenia in the Sleep, Cognition, and Neuropsychiatry Lab (PI: Dara Manoach). My research interests focus on the neural mechanism of sleep-dependent memory processing, with an overarching goal to develop sleep-based non-invasive interventions to combat memory-related impairments and enhance the memory of healthy individuals

Also a science communicator and a foodie.

Interests
  • Neural mechanism underlying sleep-dependent memory consolidation
  • Non-invasive interventions to improve cognition
  • Neural correlates of dreaming
  • Brain-imaging techniques, EEG, fMRI, MEG
