I’m a postdoctoral research fellow with the Alzheimer Society of Canada at the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience and a sessional instructor at the University of Lethbridge. My work bridges neuroethology and behavioral neuroscience, exploring how the brain supports social behavior and how these interactions influence brain health and disease.

Using tools like Neuropixels recordings and AI-based tracking (DeepLabCut), I study how typical behaviors — such as aggression, cooperation, and emotional regulation — develop and change, particularly in the context of Alzheimer’s disease.

My research experience spans a variety of species, including rats, mice, birds, whales, dolphins, primates, and even cockroaches, reflecting my long-standing fascination with animal behavior.

I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, and when I’m not in the lab, I enjoy exploring the mountains with my wife and two kids.
