I'm interested in the neuronal circuits involved in color sensing in the zebrafish larva, and how they result in color-dependent behaviors. In particular, I'm trying to understand how is ultraviolet light sensed by the larval eye and how is this information used to generate avoidance behaviors. I tackle these questions with a combination of methods ranging from behavioral recording and classification to 2-photon functional calcium imaging in awake, behaving animals. Outside of lab I spend time playing drums and in Ballroom and Salsa dancing.
