About me:

Hi!! My name is Amalia, and I'm half Greek and half Danish but I was born and raised in Brazil. I'm a rising junior concentrating in mathematics and computational neuroscience, and have been applying what I've learned at Harvard so far in the Engert Lab working with larval zebrafish. In my free time, I enjoy solving puzzles, spending time with friends, listening to music while going on a walk, and playing card games. I know that starting a new life in a new country can be very overwhelming, so if you ever need to talk about any of your worries or just chill for a bit, feel free to reach out anytime!
