About Me

I am a PhD student in theoretical neuroscience at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL.
I’ve always been drawn to the elegance of math and the thrill of curiosity, and theoretical neuroscience brings them together beautifully.
In my recent project, supervised by Peter Latham and in collaboration with Dmitry Krotov, I’m developing a mathematical model of associative memory that aims to meet two key criteria: high storage capacity and biological plausibility, as a candidate framework for understanding human memory.
