I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute under the mentorship of Dr Santani Teng. My position is funded by The E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for The Blind, Inc. My work at TengLab aims to study the neural mechanisms underlying Echolocation in blind people by combining Psychophysics, Electrophysiological (MEG & EEG), and computational techniques.
During my graduate studies, my work was focused on elucidating the neural correlates of Global Feature-Based Attention, and Reward-Based Selection in visual cortical areas by using Psychophysics and Electrophysiological techniques (MEG & EEG). My previous experience also includes some work on memory and ageing processes.

Teng Lab
We aim to better understand how people perceive, interact with, and move through the world, especially when vision is unavailable. To this end, the lab studies perception and sensory processing in multiple sensory modalities, with particular interests in echolocation and braille reading in blind persons. We are also interested in mobility and navigation, including assistive technology using nonvisual cues. These are wide-ranging topics, which we approach using a combination of psychophysical, neurophysiological, engineering, and computational tools.
