Hello!

I recently defended my PhD at the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital of McGill University where I worked with Dr. Jo Anne Stratton and specialized in the study of glia and brain borders. My primary doctoral research explored the involvement of ependymal cells in periventricular neuroinflammation, but I also conducted various collaborative investigations focusing on microglia, astrocytes, meningeal fibroblasts, and choroid plexus epithelial cells. 

Beyond neurobiology, I enjoy writing about the history of science, which I believe should always inform contemporary work. My most recent article looks at Wilder G. Penfield's studies of glial cells and their influence on modern neuroscience. In the same integrative vein, I am interested in the utility of computational tools in disentangling the nature of complex phenomena in the brain.

I am actively preparing for a postdoctoral fellowship in which I intend to study the complex interplay between the cerebrospinal fluid and subventricular zone glia in brain aging. My goal is to build a laboratory that applies cutting-edge computational and wet lab approaches to model and test how brain fluid content and regulation can sculpt glial activity. Please reach out to chat if you're interested in any of these ideas!
