In charge of the all the computational & software aspects supporting neuroscience research in the Fleischmann lab:- Developed several reinforcement learning models in Python/PyTorch and Julia with customenvironments of increasing complexity to simulate olfactory behavioral experiments done inthe Fleischmann lab. We show that the agent can learn and solve the task using Q-learning,and plan to investigate the learned representations in a Deep Q-network.;- Developed a command line interface tool to convert raw calcium imaging data to the NWB standard file format : https://gitlab.com/fleischmann-lab/calcium-imaging/calimag;- Added a new feature to the open source calcium imaging analysis software Suite2p to improve NWB support;- Implemented a plotting tool based on Bokeh to allow researchers to interactively visualize their calcium imaging traces;- Set-up and administrated the lab repository on GitLab;- Taught and improved software & DevOps best practices in the lab by providing ready to use software environments with linting, continuous integration and dependencies.
