Assistant Professor

I started at the Center for Vision Research at SUNY Upstate in October 2023. Prior to this I completed my PhD at The Ohio State University with Andy Fischer in 2018. Following that, I spent five years at the University of Washington in Thomas Reh’s laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow. My motivation revolves around all things glia and mentoring the next generation of scientists and thinkers.
