About

dconfestival berlin neurobiology of innovation

My talk on the Neurobiology of Innovation with social neuroscientist Caroline Szymanski, creativity researcher Sergio Agnoli and Stanford computational neuroscientist Manish Saggar at the dconfestival berlin

MISSION:

To increase awareness of the neurobiological underpinnings
of psychological resilience, mindset and attitude formation & change
in order to help mental health professionals, educators and leaders
create buy-in from others to invest in ‘noncognitive’ and ‘meta-cognitive’ factors
involved in human individual performance and well-being.

ABOUT ME

Quick Facts: 

  • I'm a former neuroscience and education researcher (NYU Phelps Lab for Neuroscience Research, NYU Langone Medical School and Yeshiva University Albert Einstein College of Medicine), defense department analyst and French teacher to diplomats.
  • I've worked as an educator and counselor in Ghana, Peru, Ecuador, Belgium, Holland an throughout the US and Canada. 
  • One of my latest talks was at the Symposium on Neuroscience and Physiological Perspectives on Design Thinking and Creativity hosted by Stanford University and the Hasso Plattner Institute for Design in Berlin.  The theme was 'Embodied Creativity and Cognition'

 

This is me with the headmasters of Namaskar primary school in Ejura, Ghana (years ago!)

A bit more background:

  • At NYU, I was honored to be mentored by Zoran Josipovic, whose research on mindfulness and meditation inspired me to train and study at various monasteries with meditation masters from India, Vietnam and Africa.
  • I also had the privilege of being mentored by social neuroscientist Lasana Harris, whose passion for promoting human dignity continues to inspire my work today.
  • In 2010, I received an award at the annual NYU Graduate Research Conference for my original research on Empathy and Pro-social Behavior.
