My name is Martin Arellano Duran, and I am from a small town in Chile. I first got into the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2021, where I studied psychology. That same year, I was introduced to Dr. Stein who at the time was looking for people to work with his team. Even though my field was unrelated to what Dr. Stein was doing, I accepted his offer.

Very fast, I came to realize how important this team is for Dr. Stein and how the work environment is more like a family, where everybody helps each other and works with the intention of having a great work environment.

I hope to keep learning more about this field and keep helping the team and Dr. Stein achieve their goals.
