Whether conducting research, developing software, working with data, or advancing policy, my work aims to improve the efficiency and impact of the collective activities of the broader scientific community. Across the entire spectrum of scientific endeavors--all the way from bench work to policy and even philosophical conceptualization--I strive to foster the virtuous cycle of insight formation, validation, and extension. In our modern era of research these priorities demand a critical focus on all levels of the socio-technical processes associated with how we produce, interact, store, share, and use data. My work is dedicated to the advancement of these processes, and the development of tools and practices that support the scientific community in these endeavors.

Supervised by Sarah Heilbronner( ) , Jan Zimmermann( )
Domain: Computational Neuroanatomy
Type: Research
Dates: 7 / 2021 to 7 / 2022
Workload: 40+ hrs per week
As a postdoctoral researcher I produced automated segmentation methods for the brain's major white matter tracts in tractography using cross-species and literature-based information. These tools allowed for the cross-referencing of 'ground truth' studies of non-human primate brain connectivity anatomy with imaging based studies of human brain connectivity anatomy, and have also served as anatomy models used in the development of deep brain stimulation (DBS) techniques and technologies. This also entailed the visualization of tractography and segmentation results, as well as the quantification of tract properties. To ensure the replicability and stability of these products I developed, documented, and maintained several code repositories.
