ABOUT ME
‘Ambitious problem-solver, hard-working,diligent, very well organised & efficient, great communication & organization skills, self-starter with positive attitude and great sense of humour. Versatile education, potential & great capacity for self-development.’
I am a postgraduate cognitive computational neuroscientist. I am curious about the world and I want to bring positive change to our everyday lives. My versatile educational background stretches broadly from biochemical profile class in high school through archaeology, Middle East studies and psychology undergrads to cognitive and computational neuroscience. I have worked my early 20s' in heritage protection and conservation and late 20s' in business, project management and developed wide range of skills necessary to succeed in my goals. I had opportunity to see highs and lows of our world, meet people of variety of backgrounds & cultures. I build my future on my past and challenge myself to be better.
I am committed to rising the awareness of sustainable lifestyle transformation, social equality and inclusion practices.

R E S E A R C H I N T E R E S T S
Currently involved in environmental neuroscience research. I am exploring neuroaesthetics of visual experience & how natural environment is shaping brain. In particular, how brain recognises & process naturalness of visual features (visual symmetry, fractal dimensions and colour spectrum). Also pursuing the impact of biodiversity on brain health.
