I graduated from the University of California-Irvine in June 2018. I find the brain extremely fascinating and really enjoy learning about its structure and function. I am particularly interested in the neural circuitry of memories. Outside of research, I enjoy traveling, hiking, playing tennis, soccer, and the piano. *nrghaffa@uci.edu

I am a professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine. My research investigates the neural processes underlying the formation of memories. In my spare time, I play clarinet in a concert band and sax in jazz bands. I like to make furniture in my woodshop and do other construction projects. I also like to travel.

We are Brain Explorers from the University of California, Irvine Brain Explorer Academy! We spend our Saturday mornings learning about the brain from scientists at the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. We love reading and reviewing Frontiers for Young Minds articles!
