    University Position
    PhD student

    Interests

    Current PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Dr. Raunak Sinha's lab. Thesis focused on melanopsin phototransduction in the primate retina. Past research assistant for Dr. Joergen Kornfeld at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Past MPhil in the Basic and Translational Neuroscience program at the University of Cambridge. Research project focused on characterization of monoamine G-protein coupled receptors in Octopus vulgaris, housed in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology under the supervision of Dr. Amy Courtney and Dr. Bill Schafer. During my undergrad at UW-Madison I worked in Dr. Meyer Jackson’s lab under the supervision of Dr. Onyx Scheuer. This project was in transgenic mice exploring the relative layer and column activation of Parvalbumin interneurons in somatosensory barrel cortex using the hVOS system.
