EXCITABILITY.
01 / RESEARCH DIRECTION
I am interested in how early-life stress reshapes the electrical language of the developing brain.
My developing research focus sits at the intersection of computational neuroscience, neurodevelopment, ion-channel physiology, and data-driven health research—connecting molecular mechanisms with human neurodevelopmental outcomes.

02 / PRIMARY QUESTION
How does early-life traumatic stress affect potassium-channel function and cellular stress in the developing hippocampus—and could these alterations contribute to ADHD-related neurodevelopmental outcomes?
