i am a grad student at the university of washington in the labs of sama ahmed and john tuthill.

im currently working on a project to understand how flies fly. Flies perform various acrobatic maneuvers which require precise timing of motor neuron activity on a wingbeat to wingbeat timescale. To study this, I am using a combination of connectomics, tethered flight experiments, and in vivo whole cell patch clamp electrophysiology.
