Overview

Area of Study / Keywords

Neuroscience Navigation and Memory

About

I am a behavioural and systems neuroscientist interested in how our brain constructs and remembers the world around us to inform intelligent behaviour. I earned my PhD at the University of Lethbridge with Drs. Robert J. Sutherland and Robert J. McDonald, and completed my post-doctoral research with Dr. Mark Brandon at McGill University.

Research

In the Navigation and Memory Systems lab, we aim to understand how the brain represents the environment around us to support navigation and memory, and how we can use brain-inspired solutions to address emerging challenges in AI.
