Exploring intelligence across biological and artificial systems.
About
Recent Cognitive Science graduate from McGill University.
NeuroAI Researcher
With an interdisciplinary background in cognitive neuroscience and AI, my work combines rigorous scientific methods with cross-disciplinary thinking to catalyze breakthroughs in our understanding of the mind.
My long-term vision is to develop multimodal foundation models for neuroscience. For my research, I am co-supervised by Professors Blake Richards and Matthew G. Perich.
Alongside my academic work, experiences at the AI4Good Lab, RBC Borealis, McGill TechAccel, Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship, and Mila's E-Lab have enriched my understanding of how to translate research into real-world applications.
Whether through research or entrepreneurship, I am driven by a commitment to creating meaningful societal impact.
