Undergraduates
Kirsten Amber Lo
I am currently completing my third year in the Bachelor of Medical Sciences program at Western University with a specialization in Biochemistry. I work in the CoNCH Lab assisting Hana Abbas, Ph.D. with her research on memory and brain activity in pre- and post-surgery epilepsy patients. My broad research interests are in neurological and neurodegenerative disease, particularly their diagnosis and pharmacological treatment. In my spare time, I love kayaking, baking, and playing the violin.
Kyle Sun
I have completed my undergraduate degree in the Bachelor of Medical Sciences with a honors double major in physiology and medical cell biology. I am currently assisting Madison Tutton with her investigation on listening engagement by exploring the inter-subject correlation between brain activity and physiological responses in varying signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Outside the lab I enjoy playing the electric bass and watching soccer games.
Rahul Vij
I am currently entering my third year in the Bachelor of Medical Sciences program at Western University. I am assisting Bruno Mesquita and Mehrdad Kashefi in their work investigating concurrent auditory feedback and the impact of auditory cues on motor sequence learning and reaching tasks. In my free time, I enjoy swimming and watching F1.
Vibha Sarathy
I am entering my fourth year in the Bachelor of Medical Sciences program at Western University, with a minor in Classical Studies. Currently, I am assisting Dr. Manda Fischer in the CoNCH Lab with her work on memory guided attention. Specifically, the role of familiar voices (i.e. a family member, friend, or loved one) in enhancing speech comprehension in noisy environments. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, running, and reading.
Grace Malheiro
I am entering my fourth year in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program at Western University, with an Honours Specialization in Biology. In the CoNCH Lab, I am assisting Dr. Manda Fischer with her work focusing on the neural mechanisms underlying familiar-voice benefits and their relation to attention processing during speech comprehension. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, going for runs and playing the piano.
