I'm a behavioral neuroscientist and graduate student researching meta-analysis methodology and neurotrophic factors in Alzheimer's disease. I focus on improving scientific research through rigorous methodology and helping students master statistics and research design.
My doctoral work centers on conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of environmental enrichment interventions in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease. I'm particularly interested in methodological issues affecting the reliability and validity of meta-analytic evidence, including publication bias, heterogeneity analysis, and the translation of findings from animal models to human applications.
Beyond research, I'm passionate about teaching statistics and research methods. I offer one-on-one tutoring for students struggling with hypothesis testing, effect sizes, power analysis, and meta-analysis interpretation. My goal is to help students develop genuine understanding rather than just passing their exams.
