I am a systems neuroscientist studying the neural circuits underlying curiosity, information-seeking, and exploratory behavior in mammals.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Axel lab at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute for Mind, Brain, and Behavior.

From 2015-2018, I was a junior fellow of the Simons Society of Fellows.

I was previously a graduate student in the Vosshall lab of neurogenetics and behavior at Rockefeller University. There I studied the neurogenetics of female Drosophila melanogaster sexual behavior. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a management consultant in the biotechnology industry.
