PhD candidate in Computational, Cognitive & Network Neuroscience at the Cole Neurocognition Lab, Rutgers University–Newark. I build models of how brain networks give rise to cognition and behavior, and apply that same modeling toolkit to health and medical data.
Research: functional connectivity, activity-flow modeling, neural decoding, task-fMRI Interests: Health-AI, computational neuroscience, medical imaging, machine learning for biology Currently: seeking a Summer 2027 internship in the Health-AI / neuroscience space
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| Activity-Flow Decoding + MaxT Permutation Testing | Task-fMRI: does functional connectivity + activation structure support above-chance somatomotor decoding? (36 subjects, HPC/SLURM) |
| Brain-Age CNN from MRI | Convolutional net regressing brain age from grey-matter MRI (Pearson R 0.90, MAE 2.5 yrs) |
| Breast-Cancer Subtyping from Gene Expression | ML + deep learning classifying molecular subtypes from 54k-feature expression data |
| RNN Working Memory (Delayed Match-to-Sample) | From-scratch PyTorch RNN that holds a stimulus across a delay — modeling prefrontal working memory |
| CNN Image Classification | Compact PyTorch CNN for image classification (Animal Faces) |
| MannChill | Full-stack (FastAPI + React) Health-AI app modeling allostatic load, with wearable integration |
| Hodgkin–Huxley · Integrate-and-Fire | Biophysical neuron models built from scratch in MATLAB |
