Welcome to my GitHub repository! Here, you will find projects and research contributions spanning neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and computational modeling.
I am a graduate student in the MSc Physiology - NeuroAI program at Mila/McGill University (January 2025 - January 2027). My research focuses on the intersection of neuroscience and AI, with an emphasis on leveraging artificial neural networks (ANNs) to model and understand cognitive and perceptual processes.
