A Cognitive Science researcher fueled by curiosity and driven by interdisciplinary exploration. My work bridges the gap between experimental research and neuroimaging, unraveling the mysteries of human behavior, decision-making, and learning. With a background that blends psychology, neuroscience, and computational methods, I thrive on crafting innovative approaches to uncover how our minds perceive, process, and adapt to the world around us. Whether it's in the lab or analyzing complex data, I bring a passion for connecting the dots between Cognitive science and real-world impact.
Beyond research, I’m a versatile individual with a rich blend of technical and creative skills. I excel in programming, data analysis, and creating impactful visualizations that make complex findings accessible and engaging. My passion for photography lets me capture the world’s beauty and emotions, from breathtaking landscapes to compelling moments of everyday life. Paired with strong problem-solving abilities and a collaborative mindset, I bring both creativity and precision to every endeavor, whether it’s scientific inquiry or artistic expression.
