I am a post-doctoral fellow in Jay’s lab. I got my doctorate in psychology from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY under the mentorship of Dr. Greg Zelinsky. I carried out post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. John Tsotsos in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada. I have been a post-doctoral fellow in the Hegdé laboratory at the Georgia Health Sciences University in the March 2009.
My research interests are mainly in the area of psychology and human neuroimaging.
