Bio

My research interests lie in computational psychiatry, which strives to develop mathematical descriptions of psychiatric symptoms to facilitate accurate diagnoses, targeted interventions, and refined population stratification. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca under Dr Pietro Pietrini, and am now with the HMC lab supervised by Dr Charley Wu and Dr Tobias Hauser on the neurocomputational mechanisms of risk-seeking behaviour.

Before my PhD, I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nanyang Technological University Singapore, where I utilised fMRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate haptic object recognition among the visually impaired.
