Research Methods:I employed electrophysioloical and optogenetic technologies in the primate and mouse model.Data Analysis Methods:I used MatLab, Python, and R to process raw data and created mathematical models of neural circuits and behavior.Project Management:I was the senior scientific staff on site (while PI was in transition to a different institution). I was involved in organizational meetings and had input on project management decisions.I maintained the lab's data cloud storage and backup services, using an Apache based server with OwnCloud on a CentOS workstation.

I was responsible for marking midterm exams and evaluating class projects.2004 - I taught the laboratory component of an intermediate level exercise physiology course entitled “Cardiovascular and Respiratory Response to Exercise”. I graded lab reports and worked one on one with students who required assistance.2003 - I was responsible for teaching and evaluating a senior level laboratory course in which the students conducted an experiment in a real laboratory setting which investigated a variety of physiologic systems in response to exercise. I also had the opportunity to lecture to the class on the topic of nervous control of blood flow.2002 - I was responsible for teaching and evaluating a fundamental laboratory class in which the students were introduced to a number of exercise testing techniques.
