____________________________________________

I am a PhD candidate researching the intersection of AI and psychology, specializing in Explainable AI (XAI) the analysis of biosignals and immersive VR experiments. 

My work focuses on making complex time series data interpretable and actionable, enhancing how we understand personal experiences. I'm not just using AI to study the brain—I’m designing systems that let AI and cognitive sciences co-evolve. Thus, my goal isn't just to analyze brain activity - It's to make it meaningful for real-world applications. 

With a strong foundation in cognitive neuroscience and biological psychology, I leverage biology, machine learning, and real-world applications to push the boundaries of AI-driven biosignal technology. 
I am to develop tools that bring greater transparency, trust, and ecological validity to AI in cogntive sciences and biosignals.
