I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Biomedical Engineering and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health at the University of British Columbia. My laboratory investigates neural algorithms underlying spatial navigation from a robotics and dynamical systems perspective.

My research involves studying biological systems at both behavioral and neural levels using carefully engineered experimental apparatus. The general focus of any of my projects is to understand a particular neural circuit or behavior through an integrative, whole-animal approach. The insights garnered from these studies can inform both basic science, in the form of increasing our bounds of knowledge, as well as in engineering applications, such as biomimetics and robotics, in the form of novel computational algorithms and approaches to integrating sensing, computation and actuation.
