Biography

I am a medical student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai specializing in functional neurosurgery for psychiatric disorders. Within Sinai’s Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics (C-ACT), my research explores neuromodulation at the molecular, circuit, and clinical levels. As a Gates Cambridge Scholar, I will work with Professor Valerie Voon to identify neural biomarkers of compulsivity—a transdiagnostic trait underlying conditions such as OCD, substance-use, and eating disorders—using high-fidelity recordings from the live human brain. These biomarkers could inform novel neuromodulation targets, advancing precision treatments for compulsivity-driven disorders.
