• I perform quality control, optimize, extend and distribute statistical inference algorithms invented at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit for the characterization of neuronal populations (e.g., Sparse Variational Gaussian Process Factor Analysis).
• I collaborate with scientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre in the application of these algorithms to analyze single-unit Neuropixels population recordings.
• I contribute to improve our research environment as a member of the Science Research Culture Working Group.
• I lead tutorials (e.g., Python and open-science tools 2019 and 2021, visualizations, code testing for researchers)

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Signal and Image Processing Instititute of the University of Southern California.
