Scientist with experience in a wide range of applied research settings. Work and education history below, and some examples of my work on the Projects and Visualizations pages.
Experience in scientific consulting backed by a PhD in Cognitive and Neural Systems. I bring a cross-cutting perspective to any analytical discussion and love to get my hands in the code, building visuals to get insight into data sets, as well as the magic that happens when a new model first starts to yield results.

Skills: Data Analysis and visualization, Machine Learning / Neural Networks, Simulation modeling.
