I’m trained in neuroscience and computational biology, and my work sits at the boundary between biological systems, dynamical modeling, and physics-informed machine learning. My interests span oscillatory dynamics, statistical mechanics, and the development of models that respect physical principles and biological structure. Recent work includes developing physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and dynamical systems models for scientifically grounded learning tasks. Across projects, I prioritize interpretability and parsimony; building models that capture structure before optimizing performance. A guiding principle in my work is "physics first; data second". <br>
