Welcome to my personal website/portfolio
About Me / Background
I’m from South Florida, and I currently live in Tallahassee while I work on my Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, with minors in Computational Science and Psychology.
I enjoy nerdy stuff like underground rap music and japanese minimal ambient music, london fog teas, and walks through nature with my girlfriend.
My goal is to earn a PhD in Computational Neuroscience, Statistics, or both (I’m looking at you, CMU…). I did a summer internship at Carnegie Mellon University in computational neuroscience in 2024 working under the mentorship of Timothy Verstynen, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Candidate Jack Burgess, where I mainly got familiar with the general basics of computational science such as using the command line and conda environments.
I also did a summer internship in computational neuroscience at Brown University in 2025 working under the mentorship of Mohamed Sherif M.D., Ph.D., and Santiago Enriquez M.Eng., where I familiarized myself with the Thousand Brains Project’s Monty Sensorimotor Learning System. I am currently contiuning my work on Monty and perhaps will be until I graduate in Spring 2027, because it is relevant to my interests in Computational Psychiatry.
I founded CompNeuroSociety at FSU in Spring 2025 out of a desire to build a community around computational neuroscience at my current institution, and to open an avenue to keep developing my skills in my preferred field of study while taking classes at FSU. I applied to and was awarded the Open Research Community Accelerator - Cataltyic Awards Program Grant for $14,450 (up to $15,000) to support our collaborative research project being mentored by Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Rodrigo Pena, Ph.D., Postdoc Juan Lopez, Ph.D., and Ph.D. Candidate Ty Roachford (Stiles Nicholson Brain Institute, Florida Atlantic University) and in collaboration with a sister branch of CompNeuroSociety founded Spring 2026 led by Ethan Johnson (Florida International University)
