Biography

I have a deep passion for engineering, neuroscience, and biotechnology, using these three disciplines to drive scientific breakthroughs and innovative technologies. Presently, as a Ph.D. Candidate in the Laboratory of Dr. Rainbo Hultman, I am dedicated to unraveling the intricate brain networks underlying migraine to pioneer precision medicine treatments. My research combines preclinical models, advanced neuroimaging, electrophysiological, genetic tools, and machine learning to delve into the neurophysiological mechanisms of this debilitating condition. Through this multifaceted approach, my work aims to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. My ultimate goal is to develop personalized treatment strategies that significantly improve the quality of life for migraine sufferers and individuals with neurological or psychiatric disorders.
