I am broadly interested in what can or cannot be predicted about how the brain works by its anatomy alone. I am currently studying the mechanisms of memory formation, focusing on understanding functional interactions between inhibitory and excitatory neurons along a pathway connecting cerebellum and neocortex. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, crossword puzzles, and the outdoors.
