I am a multi-talented and passionate researcher with a strong quantitative and statistical background, demonstrating proficiency in problem-solving across various fields, from Physics and Mathematics to Computational Neuroscience and Learning Analytics. My expertise is marked by my ability to use mathematical models creatively to unravel complex scientific inquiries, and a commitment to developing comprehensive solutions. Having honed my skills in Python, R, and MATLAB, I am adept at working with cloud and cluster computing, making significant contributions in both independent and collaborative environments.My academic journey began with a Master of Science in Mathematics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, leading to a Doctorate in Physics from Harvard University, and I am currently in pursuit of a Master's degree in Learning Analytics at Columbia University.In my capacity as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Computational Neuroscience at UAB, I exhibited the ability to work with a multidisciplinary team of professionals, and made strides in the study of Parkinson's Disease treatment through deep brain stimulation, leading to several published peer-reviewed papers. My experience as a data analyst and consultant has further showcased my capability in designing efficient, practical solutions based on data-driven insights.As an educator, I've had the privilege to foster the next generation of learners in a variety of settings from undergraduate calculus classrooms to after-school programs for grade schoolers, and currently as a tutor for both graduate students and middle-high schoolers.In every role I've held, I've brought an insatiable curiosity, diligent work ethic, and excellent communication skills. With a talent for connecting disparate fields of research, my career is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary study and collaboration.I'm excited to continue my journey, ever-learning, ever-teaching, and ever-researching, creating bridges between domains, and nurturing a new generation of curious, innovative thinkers.
