Biography

I am currently going into my junior year of high school. I am a high honors student. I have taken science courses such as biology, chemistry and science research. I am fluent in Greek and have studied Spanish.

Research Interests

I am interested in using novel technologies to improve motor function of people living with motor dysfunction and improving their quality of life. My current research project at Burke investigates how to improve hand function in chronic SCI patients with combined robotic training and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
