Neuro: Co-President

The brain is the most powerful organ in the body—and a strong, innovative, and ambitious NeuroSoc should be no different.

Neuroscience isn’t just about lectures and research papers; it’s about curiosity, collaboration, and cutting-edge innovation. My ongoing project, investigating the effects of hypervigilance on vestibular perception and processing, exemplifies this spirit of scientific exploration. I am passionate about conducting research that explores neuroscience from a clinical and cognitive perspective, and I want to bring this same energy and vision to NeuroSoc.

My Plans for NeuroSoc

  • Strengthening Research & Career Opportunities – Whether you’re interested in neurosurgical techniques, translational neuroscience, or neurological research, I will work to provide real opportunities for you to explore your passions.

  • Expanding the Speaker Series – I will revamp and expand our Speaker Series to bring in leading neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscientists, covering both clinical and academic perspectives in neuroscience.

  • Interactive Neurosurgical Workshops – Many students are fascinated by neurosurgery, but opportunities to engage with it are limited. I will work to introduce hands-on workshops using neurosurgical training simulators, providing practical insight into the field.

  • Making the Society More Active & Inclusive – While our flagship events, such as Meeting of the Minds and Brain Dissection sessions, are fantastic, I want to increase year-round engagement with more socials, tutorials, and networking events, making NeuroSoc a thriving community rather than just an events-based society.

If you want a bold, dynamic, and research-driven NeuroSoc, vote for me as Co-President.
