Data Scientist
State++
New York, NY
Small start-up developing analysis pipelines for tabular and EEG timeseries data. We recently achieved 2ⁿᵈ place in NeuroTechX's Global Hackathon Brain Age Prediction Challenge, using brain signals to predict age to a mean absolute error of 1.60 years.
2020 - 2021
University of Toronto Psychology Department
PhD Student in Computational Neuroscience
2019 - 2020
University of Toronto Psychology Department
Masters Computational Neuroscience
As a graduate student I specialized in applying computational methods to social-cognitive neuroscience questions.
Together with my advisor, we mapped fMRI-based information flow across brain areas during social decision-making, examined the dynamics of social category formation, and dabbled in deep reinforcement learning modelling of human social behaviour.
While I finished the Masters program, developments in the neuro-tech industry increasingly captured my imagination and I decided to leave the PhD program after the first year.
2015 - 2019
University of Toronto Psychology Department
Junior Data Scientist,

Years where I cut my teeth on computational neuroscience data analysis. Led analyses of ~5 projects a year (see projects for some examples). Taught neuroimaging analysis to graduate and undergraduate students.
