Preprint: Coming Soon!
Keep an eye out for a preprint from my postdoctoral work.
We used our custom, microfabricated neural probes in combination with multiphoton imaging to dissect translaminar circuits driving sensory-evoked traveling waves.

During my PhD, I worked at the interface of neuroscience and engineering for studying microscopic model organisms. This work culminated in a central idea: integrating nanoelectronics into microfluidic platforms for scalable electrophysiology and behavioral experiments. Read more about this work here:
