Profile Summary

Skilled data analyst with an M.S. in applied statistics and trained neuroscientist with a PhD in Psychology. I have over a decade of experience in the field of human cognitive neuroscience and have spent the last 2.5 years in neural tissue engineering. I can handle many complex data analysis and technical writing tasks, and am an expert at experimental design. I have experience working with many kinds of data, and building analysis pipelines to pre-process and analyze brain data, in particular (EEG/ERP, fMRI, calcium imaging, in vitro electrophysiology). I have published peer reviewed journal articles and have experience with grant writing. Very happy to discuss whatever you may need!
