I am a visual neuroscientist currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Kriegeskorte Lab, supported by an NIH NRSA F32 grant. In my work, I employ neuroimaging and deep learning methods to study how intelligent visual systems, whether biological or artificial, can flexibly encode, retain, and combine different features of their visual experience during task-related processing. Additionally, I maintain an open-source Python package, TorchLens, for extracting activations from arbitrary PyTorch neural network models and visualizing their structure.

I completed my PhD in the Harvard Vision Lab, working primarily with Yaoda Xu. Before that, I studied the neural basis of face memory as a lab manager for Gregory McCarthy, and self-control in capuchin monkeys as an undergrad with Laurie Santos.
