Fellows
The individuals listed currently hold Center for Neural Science and Medicine postdoctoral award fellowships, which provide independent funding for exceptionally well qualified and innovative postdoctoral scientists working in a neuroscience laboratory at Cedars-Sinai. Two fellowships are awarded annually in response to an open call.

I have a background in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. I completed my PhD in 2019 at Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience (Neuro-PSI), affiliated with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS); and the University of Paris, France. During my PhD research, I developed a closed-loop intracortical brain-machine interface (BMI) setup by combining electrophysiology for motor readout and patterned optogenetics for somatosensory feedback. Using this BMI, I demonstrated the causal role of somatosensory cortical maps in neuroprosthetic learning. My current project in the Gulati Lab at the Cedars-Sinai Center for Neural Science and Medicine (CNSM) involves studying the interplay between the motor cortex and the cerebellum during neuroprosthetic learning in healthy and stroke- injured rodents.

I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Rutishauser Lab at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, probing human cognition using single-cell electrophysiology. As an undergraduate, I studied electrical engineering at Brown University before enrolling in the Computation and Neural Systems graduate program at the California Institute of Technology. At Cedars-Sinai, I am studying the neural mechanisms that allow us to form abstract representations of the world around us. Through abstraction, we can effortlessly generalize our knowledge to novel situations. In the lab, I record activity from individual cells in many regions of the human brain in order to observe how these kinds of representations are acquired through learning. In addition to the data-driven approach, we develop computational models to better understand how these mechanisms operate in health and disease.
