I am a Member of Technical Staff at Merge Labs, working at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning. I completed my undergraduate and master's studies at MIT in Computer Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences, where my research focused on representation learning from large-scale human neural recordings. At MIT, I was advised by Prof. Ila Fiete and previously worked with Dr. Guangyu Robert Yang and Dr. Christopher Cueva. I co-founded the Ukraine Leadership and Technology Academy to equip young Ukrainians with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to rebuild Ukraine into a thriving, European nation. I won the Schwarzman Scholarship and am a Cerebras Fellow. I co-organize TEDxMIT. In 2025, I received the Glushko Prize for Outstanding Research; in 2026, I was elected to Full Membership in Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society.
