  I am now a full time research assistant in Jed Metlzer's lab at Baycrest. My work involves analysing neuroimaging data, particularly MEG (beamforming, time-frequency, functional connectivity, etc.), moving on to stroke patients with the brain stimulation (HD-tDCS and Theta Burst) research, and some more vanilla lab work among other responsibilities. I am also very excited to say that I may soon be working on a decoding project, combining my knowledge of machine learning with my neuroimaging skills to produce algorithms that would be able to distinguish between different brain states.

  Worked on a project investigating the physiological effects of HD-tDCS and TMS (TBS) using MEG. Had to leave the country for a few months to solve an immigration issue.

  Conducted a study on the effects of transcrannial direct current stimulation over bilateral auditory cortex on the perception of emotional prosody. We found that tDCS had moderate, but significant effects on response times and ratings of emotionally charged sentences, and furthermore that these effects depended on the particular emotion that was being rated. Paper submitted at Interspeech 2015, and journal article will follow.

  Implemented new metaheuristics for parametrising generalized median mechanisms (mechanism design). Implemented a branch and bound algorithm for determining single-peakedness in preference profiles, and designed measures to approximate single-peakedness (computational social choice).
