● Developed the use of a novel algorithm for diffusion MRI analysis in non-human brains.● Wrote Unix scripts to submit jobs to remote computer clusters and generate data for cross-speciescomparisons of neural connectivity.● Examined and manipulated large datasets using the Pandas, NumPy and SciPy libraries in Python.● Visualised data using the Pytreat library in Python and the RMINC package in R.

Laramie, Wyoming, United States

● Designed and implemented a novel Raspberry Pi-based system to automate the recording of several animal behaviours.● Extracted and analysed data from animal recordings using R’s dplyr, ggplot2, and car packages.● Interpreted results to draw conclusions about how frogs process colour vision. My research (doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2020.00071) was the first study to identify which brain regions are responsible for processing colour-related information in any amphibian species. My research will… Show more ● Designed and implemented a novel Raspberry Pi-based system to automate the recording of several animal behaviours.● Extracted and analysed data from animal recordings using R’s dplyr, ggplot2, and car packages.● Interpreted results to draw conclusions about how frogs process colour vision. My research (doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2020.00071) was the first study to identify which brain regions are responsible for processing colour-related information in any amphibian species. My research will thus help us to understand the evolution of colour vision.● Contributed statistical expertise to other research projects in the lab. I was acknowledged in another of the lab’s publications (doi: 10.1002/dneu.22638) for carrying out a coefficient of variation (CV) analysis on the data, which I performed in R. Show less

● Led a workshop series for undergraduate students on data analysis using SPSS.● Designed, administered and assessed psychometric validity of psychological questionnaires.● Analysed survey and questionnaire data using IBM SPSS to study interpersonal relationships.● In this position, I worked with unusual dyadic datasets. The data came in dyads, i.e., pairs, in which one participant’s responses may have influenced another participant’s responses, potentially violating assumptions of… Show more ● Led a workshop series for undergraduate students on data analysis using SPSS.● Designed, administered and assessed psychometric validity of psychological questionnaires.● Analysed survey and questionnaire data using IBM SPSS to study interpersonal relationships.● In this position, I worked with unusual dyadic datasets. The data came in dyads, i.e., pairs, in which one participant’s responses may have influenced another participant’s responses, potentially violating assumptions of statistical independence.● To handle this, I communicated with statistics faculty to implement unusual statistical methods such as the intraclass correlation to measure non-independence and inform further analysis.

Nanyuki, Kenya

● Worked with a team of American and Kenyan ecologists to study mammal and bird populations.● Used R’s stats package to produce linear models of animal distributions and behaviour, with thegoal of better understanding predator-prey interactions. This work will help ecologists understandthe impact of expanding urbanisation in Kenya on local wildlife populations.
