I am an undergraduate student at the University of Rochester (class of 27') pursuing a double major of B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Brain and Cognitive Science, as well as a Japanese Minor and a concentration in AI.
At UofR, I have been doing research with the Samuel Norman-Haignere Auditory Computational Neuroscience lab, where I lead a project to analyse acoustic invariance to environmental sounds, analysing the mechanisms that underlie auditory classification as well as the capabilities of encoding models to replicate them.
My interests lie in the intersections between computer science and cognitive science. I want to be able to understand how intelligent systems arise, what computations and mechanisms underlie them, and how we can interact and understand such systems. This has led me to Computational Neuroscience, with particular interests in NeuroAI, Brain Computer Interfaces, and Neural Decoding. I am interested in perception, especially imagined visual and auditory stimuli.
For fun I enjoy playing the guitar and making music, and at UofR I am the club president of the Rochester Producers and Musicians club. I also love nature and dogs.
