Computational Neuroscientist | EEG/BCI, Riemannian Geometry, Python, Statistics

Profile Summary

I'm a computational neuroscientist specializing in EEG/biosignal analysis, Riemannian geometry, and rigorous statistical validation, currently completing my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at Sapienza University of Rome (admitted Rank 2). My recent benchmark work: a controlled comparison of a geometry-aware EEG decoding method (Riemannian tangent-space, built on pyRiemann) against deep learning models (bidirectional Mamba, SPDNet-style networks) across eight public motor-imagery datasets. The geometric approach matched or beat the deep models, with large, rigorously validated effect sizes (Cohen's d = 1.06-1.50, full non-parametric statistics: Friedman omnibus, FDR/Holm-corrected Wilcoxon, bootstrap CIs, Critical-Difference analysis). I recently contributed a reproducible example of this method to MOABB, the open-source EEG-BCI benchmarking framework used across the field, and posted the manuscript as a preprint. Alongside this computational work, I bring hands-on experimental experience: for my MSc thesis at the Santa Lucia Foundation (IRCCS) in Rome, I am running a neuronavigated TMS-EEG study on the brain's attention networks, giving me direct experience with causal neurostimulation, EEG artifact handling, and controlled experimental design in a clinical research setting. What I can help with: - EEG/biosignal analysis: preprocessing, artifact rejection, feature extraction (MNE-Python, pyRiemann, EEGLAB, FieldTrip) - Statistical analysis and validation: non-parametric hypothesis testing, effect sizes, power analysis, review of existing analyses for methodological soundness - Machine learning: model design, benchmarking, and honest evaluation of when added complexity is (and isn't) justified - Academic and research writing: research statements, manuscript drafting and revision, literature synthesis I collaborate with a lab at KU Leuven (Belgium) on EEG decoding research and am selected as a NeurIPS 2025 Reviewer (UniReps Workshop). I value clear communication and realistic timelines, and I'll flag early if something isn't working rather than let a deadline slip silently.
