Science biography

 

I am a graduate student in the Robertson Lab. Broadly, I am in search of neural syntax. I want to learn how the hippocampus and cortex communicate with each other (e.g., sharp-wave ripples) for various cognitive processes (e.g., memory consolidation and memory retrieval). Before coming to Dartmouth, I was a Research Assistant at the Dicon Lab at Boys Town National Research Hospital. My research focused on cognitive functioning in patients with Alzheimer's disease and cannabis users using magnetoencephalography.

 

Non-science biography

 

I grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and attended undergraduate school in Utah and Missouri. Soccer is one of my favorite things outside the lab - I like watching and playing it. I also enjoy traveling, cooking, and playing chess.
