Welcome to my Research Portfolio. This page showcases the work I have done in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, and neurotech. My research journey spans a variety of projects that explore the intersections between neural mechanisms, cognitive enhancement, and brain-machine interfaces. Here, you’ll find my research posters, conference presentations, and publications, all of which reflect my commitment to pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding and innovation. Feel free to explore my work and connect with me on future projects.
