> About Me
I obtained my PhD in Quantitative Life Sciences (Computational Neuroscience) from McGill University, where I was advised by Dr. Christopher Pack. My PhD focused on the causal connectivity of cortico-cortical feedback along the dorsal visual pathway in non-human primates and its contribution to cortical computation. I also hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Electronics).
