About Me
I am currently working towards my PhD in behavioral neuroscience at the University of Delaware. I am interested in scientific research, teaching, technology, and human computer interaction. I strongly believe that by studying the capabilites of the brain we will gain substantial inspiration for technological advancements. Furthermore, we can use this knowledge to produce better prosthetic devices for disabled individuals and use technology to improve normal sensory and motor abilities. The first step in this process is discovering and mimicing the capabilites of the neural systems that we use to perform sensory-motor tasks.
