I’m pursuing a B.Eng. in Intelligent Medical Engineering and expect to graduate in 2027.

GPA: 3.73/4.00

Research Interests

I’m interested in how models represent brain activity and relate it to images and language. I also explore how neural feedback can guide image generation as a person interacts with a model.
