Experience

Visiting Fellow

NICHD, NIH

•Jan 2014 - Jan 2021•Bethesda, MD, USA

Designed and developed a scientific software toolkit for analyzing animal behavioral recordings using Python/PyQT/PyTorch. Developed biophysically realistic neuronal network models from experimental data. Developed scripts for simulation and analysis on NIH Biowulf supercomputer. Maintained bitbucket/github repositories for the code. Carried out electrophysiology experiments in vivo, histology, microscopy, and neuronal morphology tracing; visualized and analyzed data using Python scipy stack. Presented results in scientific seminars, wrote and published articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Mentored and trained summer students and taught Introductory Data Science using Python to scientists at NCI and NIH.
