About
Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program for Neuroscience with a computational specialization at Boston University (entered 2015) studying in the Active Perception Lab at the University of Rochester. I use a combination of psychophysical and theoretical approaches to study the consequences of small eye movements on high-acuity perception and neural processing in the early visual system.
