ude.uaf.htlaeh@2202velevets  

My name is Stacey Tevelev and I am a medical student at Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at FAU. I graduated from UC Davis in 2020 with a BS in Psychology with Emphasis in Biology. My research interests include using neuroimaging techniques like EEG and fMRI to better understand the mechanisms behind neuropsychiatric disorders. I hope to continue to learn about different techniques to investigate these diagnoses and how neuromodulating techniques could be used as treatment.
