BIO

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Cognitive Neuroscience Unit under the supervision of Dr. Tim Silk.
Currently, I am working on the influence of puberty on Adolescents' Brain Development

My research interests include Computational Neuroscience, Computer Vision, and Machine/Deep Learning with applications in Neuroscience.
Through this interdisciplinary approach, I intend to study the Brain and its connectivity longitudinally, particularly by exploiting machine/deep learning frameworks I aim to understand the impact of a sensitive period such as puberty on the development of the Brain and its connectivity.
