Biography

I am a neuroscience researcher with a strong interest in neuron–glia interactions and network-level mechanisms underlying brain disorders. My work focuses on astrocytic calcium signaling and its role in neuronal network development, synchronization, and epileptiform activity. Using multimodal approaches including calcium imaging, multielectrode array recordings, and in vivo models, my research aims to define how astrocyte-mediated signaling shapes neuronal network maturation and contributes to disease states such as epilepsy. My long-term goal is to identify glia-centered mechanisms that can be leveraged for novel therapeutic strategies targeting neuronal-network dysfunction.
