Summary

I have a strong academic background in psychology and Computational neuroscience. During my undergraduate studies in psychology, I completed a minor in molecular biology and genetics, followed by a master's degree in neuroscience. I am proficient in experimental research, data analysis, and scientific writing. My primary research interests lie in cognitive neuroscience and neuroplasticity. Throughout my academic journey, I have gained experience in computational modeling, neuroimaging techniques, and electrophysiological data analysis. I am eager to contribute to interdisciplinary research that bridges neuroscience, molecular biology and genetics and psychology, with a particular focus on computational neuroscience.
