Biography

I’m a postdoctoral fellow in the Neuroprosthetics Lab within the Department of Neurological Surgery at University of California, Davis Health System. My work focuses on understanding the neuronal encoding of abstract linguistic information with the goal of improving existing invasive speech brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to develop a language (rather than speech) neuroprosthesis. Prior to this, I got my PhD in Language Science at the University of California, Irvine where my dissertation investigated the neural and psycholinguistic foundations of syntactic deficits in post-stroke aphasia.
