Palmiter Lab | University of Washington
Hello. I am a post-bac student at the University of Washington. My primary research is working to understand how neuropathic pain changes plasticity under Dr. Richard Palmiter's supervision. My side project is building tools for extracting high-order spatial information and segmenting behavior videos for neuroscientists collaborating with Dr. Carlos Campos. If you are interested in learning more about my research, please check out the "projects" section when it is ready.
​
I am actively applying for PhD in neuroscience or Biomedical Engineering or or Psychology. Here is my CV. My research interests lie at the interface of neuroscience and computation. I have several interests for my PhD.
1. Developing tools for neuroscientists, like behavior modeling or brain decoding for the brain-computer-interface.
2. Understanding how brain regions talk with each other generating a coherent or not coherent behavior

I like cooking, hiking, snowboarding, playing tennis, and doing archery in my free time. I also have a cat and her name is Daidai.
