Biography

1998 წელს დაამთავრა თბილისის სახელმწიფო უნივერსიტეტი ადამიანისა და ცხოველთა ფიზიოლოგიის სპეციალობით. 2004 წელს საქართველოს მეცნიერებათა აკადემიის ივანე ბერიტაშვილის ფიზიოლოგიის ინსტიტუტში დაიცვა დისერტაცია თემაზე: „ფერადი მხედველობის სისტემის საკორექციო-საკომპენსაციო მექანიზმების მდგრადობა ზოგიერთი გარემო ფაქტორის მიმართ“ და მიენიჭა ბიოლოგიის მეცნიერებათა კანდიდატის (აკადემიური დოქტორი) ხარისხი. 2018 წლიდან არის თბილისის თავისუფალი უნივერსიტეტის კოგნიტურ ნეირომეცნიერებათა სამეცნიერო-კვლევითი ინსტიტუტის მთავარი მეცნიერ-თანამშრომელი. აქვს ევროპის სხვადასხვა სამეცნიერო ცენტრებში მუშაობის გამოცდილება. წარმატებით მონაწილეობს სხვადასხვა ადგილობრივ თუ საერთაშორისო კონფერენციებსა და სიმპოზიუმებში. მისი ავტორობითა და თანავტორობით გამოქვეყნებულია ორმოცზე მეტი სამეცნიერო ნაშრომი და ერთი მონოგრაფია.
