I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate studying in California. My program is Biomathematics, and I am interested in mathematical modeling in neuroscience, particularly applications in mental health and psychiatry. I will be using this blog to develop the story of my growth as a scientist. I will discuss my research progress, interesting topics I encounter in classes and seminars, and also some of the more personal aspects of my progress.
