I am an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University where I run the Artificial and Biological Intelligence Laboratory. I did my postdoctoral research with Carlos Brody and Jonathan Pillow on latent variable models of evidence accumulation. During my Ph.D., I worked with Larry Abbott developing methods for training recurrent neural networks, and with Mark Churchland connecting these models conceptually to statistical models of low-dimensional dynamics applied to data. Before that I studied the basal ganglia in the laboratory of Ann Graybiel at MIT and completed by BS in physics at Fordham University.
