About

I am a neuroscientist-in-making (aka PhD student) with a keen interest in neuropharmacology. My research focuses on understanding how psychedelic drugs influence movement in both healthy and Parkinsonian mice. Additionally, I am working on developing nanoparticle formulations and innovative tools to accurately track 3D animal behaviors.
