Hi, I’m a dream engineer!

I’m a researcher passionate about exploring consciousness in the dreaming brain, specializing in lucid dreaming.

I completed my PhD in psychology, specializing in Brain, Behavior, and Cognition, in the Paller Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University, where I also recently completed a post-doc. My dissertation focused on two-way communication with dreamers to study why we dream.

I am currently working at Dust Systems, a startup company focused on translating laboratory methods for engineering dreams into the wild.

In March 2026, I will start a new post-doc in the Cambridge Consciousness and Cognition Laboratory, continuing to study ways to communicate with sleeping people.
