About Me
Interests
Beyond my academic pursuits, I have a variety of interests that help shape my perspective, inspire my research and ultimately who I am.
I have a deep passion for music, being fascinated in music theory, production and in performing it. I enjoy playing the guitar, which provides a creative outlet and a balance to my studies. Music has always been a source of inspiration and relaxation, being an important part of my life.
I am also intrigued by the intersection of technology and neuroscience, particularly how advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning can enhance our understanding of the brain. This has lead to a curiosity on the role technology can play with the neuroscience behind neurodegenerative diseases.
In my free time, I enjoy reading about philosophy and quantum physics. This is because I see learning about quantum physics as if it's a logical puzzle that I can solve to help my understanding. As an intuitive thinker and I absolutely adore topics that I can visualize to understand all of the mechanisms correctly.
My interest in intuitive thinking and quantum physics began at a young age, sparked by my first encounter with Schrödinger's cat. At around 9-years-old, I created a visual representation in an attempt to visualize the concept, which helped me understand the abstract idea in a tangible way. This experience shaped my approach to learning, as I now regularly seek ways to visualize complex concepts, allowing me to break down difficult ideas and engage with them more deeply. This method of visualizing mechanisms has been invaluable in both my academic studies and research, particularly in neuroscience.
