Research Interest: 

My research has evolved from cellular electrophysiology toward in vivo neurophysiology, driven by an interest in understanding how neural circuits operate at the network level. Currently, I am working on a translational research project aimed at decoding the functional architecture and plasticity of neural networks in disease models. To this end, I use multi photon imaging in combination with VR-based behavioral paradigms to study learning, adaptation, and network resilience in preclinical models.
