I’m currently a Kempner post-bac scholar at Harvard, working in the NeuroAI & Geometric Data Analysis Lab.

I’m interested in understanding the fundamental principles of intelligence across scales, from cells and brains to organisms, machines, and society. These systems all solve complex problems in their respective domain, aligning the behavior of component parts towards larger goals. I aim to develop a theory of computation, intelligence, and influence in collective, many-part systems to understand how they solve problems and pursue goals.

Through this work, I hope to better understand the increasingly prevalent interplay between human society and artificial systems, and it’s impact on the human experience.

I previously worked in the McMurray lab at UIC studying the impact of chronic alcohol use on the neurobiology and fear-related behavior of psychiatric comorbidity using preclinical models.
