I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington. My work has focused on the neural encoding of reward variables across a variety of brain regions, using in vivo electrophysiology, two-photon calcium imaging, and optogenetics. I also use multiomic approaches to understand cell type diversity in reward-related regions.

Here are some sites to learn more about what I’ve been up to and what I’m interested in:
