My Story

I’m a PhD student working in computational neuroscience, with a background in biomedicine. My research sits at the intersection of biology, physics, and modeling, and I’m comfortable operating in the space between disciplines.

Much of my work is motivated by the interest in understanding how the brain works across scales. Over the past years, I've been focused on nociceptors, which are neurons that encode noxious stimuli. I’m particularly interested in how pain-related signals emerge from the biophysics of ion channels, how these microscopic processes shape neuronal excitability, and how they ultimately influence neuronal function and circuit-level behavior.

My approach often involves moving back and forth between levels of abstraction: from biophysical ion channel models, to single-neuron dynamics, to interactions within biological and computational neural circuits. I’m drawn to mechanistic explanations and to understanding not only whether a model works, but why it works, what assumptions it relies on, and where its limitations lie.

This space serves as a place to share ongoing thoughts and work. I’ll be posting personal reflections, notes from projects in progress, tutorials, and occasional commentary on developments in computational neuroscience and related fields. The goal is not polished conclusions, but clearer thinking — using this blog as a record of questions, ideas, and lessons learned along the way.
