I’m an aspiring pain researcher, non-profit entrepreneur, solo world traveller, contemporary orchestral music arranger, spiritual guru, attentive conversationalist, and friend to many other cats.
Hi, I’m Cat, a junior in Brandeis University studying neuroscience. I am currently working in the Jadhav lab, investigating the electrophysiological underpinnings behind inferential reasoning and memory. Currently working on my senior thesis, investigating how uncertainty can modulate learning rates in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. In the future, I want to investigate how expectations influence valence, and especially how it influences pain.
I am also currently testing my fit for entrepreneurship by founding an early-stage startup. RightNow is working to re-invent how the future generation interact with productivity apps. Given the increasing integration of our lives with technology, RightNow is helping users form habits through the regulation of their digital environment and incentives.
In my free time, I also enjoy solo travelling, writing music, and asking people weird questions.
I’m constantly following my passions to many different corners of the world. Since I’m trying to do everything at once, do expect things on this website to quickly become outdated!
Things I am proud about.
For my professional achievements.
For my emotional/spiritual achievements.
For my intellectual achievements.
