I applied and integrated new data analysis methods into a custom workflow for EEG data and found improved performance and altered brain rhythms following stimulation. • Applied machine learning algorithms to classify data recorded from the brain to predict brain states.• Analyzed electrophysiological data using an inverse solution based approach combined with data modeling to evaluate connectivity between brain regions while subjects perform cognitive tasks. • Developed computational finite element model of transcranial direct current stimulation of the human brain to plan and calculate the direct area of effect of electrical stimulation of the head. • Mentored and managed five undergraduate research assistants who developed their own projects and data analysis techniques and have coauthored research publications. These students have gone on to pursue graduate degrees, work at NGOs, and work in industry.• Contributed to NIH/NSF grant applications. Show less
