Assistant Professor of Biology
Biography: I studied temporal processing in electric fishes under Dr. Masashi Kawasaki at UVA for my doctorate, and completed my postdoc at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, studying traumatic brain injuries in the lab of Dr. Michelle Theus. I am currently teaching and working to establish my own research program.
