At heart, I am a data scientist interested in applying ML and statistical models toward cyberphysical systems interfacing with human health. With the help of my coadvisors Pulkit Grover and Doug Weber, my research is centered around leveraging neurostimulation to make the interaction with and manipulation of brain-machine interfaces like neuroprosthetics more robust and versatile.
I hope to develop a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to bolster the role of neural data and other biometrics in human-robot interaction and healthcare.
