I am currently a computational neuroscience PhD student at the University of Illinois at Chicago where I am being advised by Alex Keinath. My research broadly focuses on how the hippocampus constructs nmeumonic representations. Our most recent work contributes to a body of evidence that suggests the hippocampus encodes the predictive relationships among the contents of experience. I am currently using leaky integrate and fire models to explore the different synaptic learning rules that may underly representational drift in the hippocampus.
