Research compass
From neural timing to individualized intervention.
The portfolio follows four connected questions: how information moves, how stimulation perturbs it, how heterogeneity changes the answer, and how those mechanisms can support clinical decisions.
Research program
A perturb–measure–personalize loop.
Mechanistic simulations and human measurements are treated as two views of the same problem, with individual variability retained rather than averaged away.
Trajectory
Physics → neural dynamics → precision neurostimulation.
A compact chronology of the training and appointments that shaped the current research program.
Featured papers
Three examples of the central research arc.

Question in progress
Can dose be personalized so that every participant’s target receives at least a minimum electric-field magnitude?
I am exploring whether accounting for individual brain anatomy can reduce under-dosing and increase the likelihood of clinical response and remission across a cohort.
