Research Summary: 

My research in the Kosik lab explores how sensory input shapes the development and learning capacity of human cortical organoids, and investigates whether these networks can detect subtle physical signals, including quantum-level differences. Together, these projects aim to uncover fundamental principles of how the brain processes information and adapts to its environment.

About Angela:

I’m happiest outdoors--backpacking, camping, walking along the beach with my dog, or practicing yoga--especially when I can share those adventures with family and friends. I also enjoy film, art, and taking on silly creative projects when I can.
