Welcome to my page! I am a physician scientist studying the mechanistic drivers of neurodevelopment and plasticity. I am particularly interested in how pediatric neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy) and neurodevelopemental disabilities (e.g., autism) may result from deviations from the brain's typical developmental trajectory. I also am interested in how interventions for pediatric neurological disorders (e.g., pediatric epilepsy surgery) affect cognitive development. My research employs a combination of psychophysics, functional MRI, structural MRI, and data science.

Additionally, I am an advocate for expansion of mentorship opportunities for future physician scientists. I also am an advocate for healthcare reform to improve access to affordable care.

Previously, I completed my MD at the University of Pittsburgh and PhD in cognitive neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University with Dr. Marlene Behrmann. Now I am a child neurology resident in the Departments of Pediatrics and Neurology at New York University. I am currently working with Drs. Cate Hartley and Anli Liu, in collaboration with Dr. Teresa Hidalgo, to study how pediatric epilepsy and epilepsy surgery affect executive function, statistical learning, and memory over development.
