PhD student at the Carandini/Harris lab.

Toronto

Leading a research project on using maximum-entropy models to estimate connectivity of neural signals. Benchmarked the models against existing connectivity measures in computational neuroscience. Implemented an accelerated CPU version of the algorithm and worked with the Fujitsu Co-Creation Laboratory to implement a hardware-accelerated version of the.

I was the director of the world's only student-funded and student-led space program. My responsibilities and projects included:- Growing the team from ~25 active members to 60+ through targeted recruitment, thorough training, and ensuring member retention.- Leading multiple initiatives to build and improve team culture, address the team's struggles with.
