I recently defended my PhD in Computation and Neural Systems. My graduate research focused on how tactile experiences are constructed by the brain using sensory inputs and internal models, as well as understanding how multisensory contexts affect artificially generated sensations in people with spinal cord injuries. To study these topics, I have used a combination of human electrophysiology data collected with microelectrode arrays, behavioral data, intracortical microstimulation (ICMS), and virtual reality environments.

My most recent project is on how touch experiences are composed of multisensory inputs, and how the topographic organization of somatosensory cortex is less rigid that previous thought. Check out the paper here!
