With a deep-rooted passion for understanding human behavior through the lenses of cognitive science, I bring a unique perspective to both research and teaching. My work spans diverse areas, from evolvable hardware, modeling the evolution of development, to neuromodulatory and developmental artificial neural networks, all of which inform my pedagogical approach. I am dedicated to cultivating inclusive and adaptive learning environments, ensuring that each student thrives. My commitment to fostering research communities and mentoring students has resulted in successful collaborations and publications, making me a valuable asset for institutions seeking innovative and holistic academic leadership.I am currently exploring part-time or temporary positions during a potential sabbatical year in the 2025-2026 academic year.
