Sofia graduated from Tufts University in 2023 with a B.S. in Biopsychology and a minor in Studio Art. At Tufts, her work focused on multisensory (tactile-visual) integration and awareness.
Now a PhD candidate in the IPN, Sofia is a member of the Visual Perception and Plasticity (VPP) Lab under Dr. Tina Liu. Her research focuses on visual rehabilitation after stroke using perceptual learning and non-invasive brain stimulation. She is also interested in using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to investigate neurochemical markers of plasticity.
