I am a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow, heading the Naturalistic Experience Group at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. My research explores how the human brain processes and stores real-world information. To study this, I use naturalistic experiences, like movies and stories, to understand real-world behaviours and associated brain activity in both neurotypical individuals and clinical populations. I hold an MSc and PhD in Neurobiology from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where I worked with Prof. Rafael Malach. I completed my postdoctoral research in Prof. Tim Behrens' lab at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging at UCL, supported by a Human Frontier Science Program Postdoctoral Fellowship, an EMBO Long-Term Fellowship, and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship.

I am a PhD student in Cognitive Neuroscience. I am interested in using naturalistic stimuli to understand why we remember what we remember. Outside academics, I love tennis and yoga!

I am interested in how the human brain learns from past and present experiences to make sense of the world. I use a combination of neuroimaging (MEG) and computational modelling to investigate how replay mechanisms may enable the integration and abstraction of information during naturalistic narrative comprehension to support flexible cognition.

My interest lies in understanding how the brain integrates unfolding experience to shape perception at the behavioural level, extending to mapping and modelling the neural mechanisms underlying this integration, with implications for context-aware AI design.

I am currently completing an MRes in Cognitive Neuroscience here at UCL. My academic interests involve exploring new methodologies, technologies, and analyses in research, as well as understanding more about how higher-order functioning happens in the brain! This year, I will help explore how our brain encodes and shifts trait/character representations throughout narratives using neuroimaging.
