Research Interests
My research interests lie in the intersection of electrical engineering, bioengineering and neuroscience. Specifically, my work involves developing novel methods from machine learning for processing neural activity recorded directly from the brain in order to build better neuro-prosthetic devices and to further understanding of the brain.
