About me
Imaging data-scientist with experience in Neuroscience and an expanding focus on neurodegenerative disease.
Visual
Over a decade experience in scientific imaging, and an extensive background in computer 3D graphics allow me to identify the correct imaging modality, execute the experiment, and visualize the data in an intuitive manner.
Quantitative
Intuition is an excellent guide but robust conclusions are only possible with hard numbers. By tapping a vast toolkit of quantitative analytical methods and the statistics to test them, my findings are consistently on solid ground.
Punctual
The current pace of progress leaves no time for fishing expeditions with no end in sight. My experience allows me to identify the critical experiments and analyses needed and set a path for completing them on time.
