I'm a second year PhD student at the University of Arizona, working in the Translational Neurosciences department. I'm interested in neuromodulation--how different chemical messengers "tune" the parameters of neural transmission. I work on projects that seek to understand fluctuations within or between emotional brain states, in the hopes to further understand diseases like depression, PTSD, and schizophrenia.
