About
I'm an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University and a research contributor to the Developmental Embeddings project in the Tovar Lab, where I work on EEG decoding pipelines and semantic embedding models (SPoSE/VICE) to study how conceptual representations develop across childhood. My interests span machine learning, neural networks, and applied mathematics, with a focus on translating rigorous computational methods into reliable research tools. Outside the lab, I'm preparing for a career in industry, building on this research experience in applied ML and computational neuroscience.

Audiovisual Object Embeddings over Development
This project investigates how visual and auditory semantic embeddings evolve over the course of development, driven by sensory experiences and learning. The research focuses specifically on how distinct visual and auditory representations independently develop and mature into adult-like semantic spaces. Using behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and neural validation through fMRI and MEG, we aim to characterize developmental trajectories and pinpoint how sensory experience shapes these semantic embeddings. Experiments will utilize real-world stimuli to explore the plasticity of semantic representations. Insights from this project will deepen our understanding of cognitive development
