At its core, my work is about understanding human potential. How do we learn? How do we grow? And how can we support that growth more effectively?

These questions drive my research and shape my approach to science. They also highlight the importance of collaboration, innovation, and persistence.

The recognition from the National Academy of Sciences is a significant milestone, but it is also a reminder of the responsibility that comes with it—to continue pushing boundaries and making a difference.

The journey of discovery is ongoing, and I am excited to see where it leads next.
