• Developed a business plan based on hardware and software for preclinical pain research.• Conducted research to determine the initial market size, and pitched to potential investors.• Designed and built a commercial prototype of the automated reproducible mechanostimulator.

• Implemented machine learning pose analysis of mouse behavior and developed a software platform, PAWS, that has now been used to analyze over 11,000 behavioral trials and is used by 5 different labs.• Conducted IHC on 200 and RNA in situ on 150 samples and analyzed the resulting fluorescence.• Invented and developed software for the automated reproducible mechanostimulator (ARM) a device that I used to automate 3000 evoked rodent pain assays, and integrated it with Inscopix in vivo… Show more • Implemented machine learning pose analysis of mouse behavior and developed a software platform, PAWS, that has now been used to analyze over 11,000 behavioral trials and is used by 5 different labs.• Conducted IHC on 200 and RNA in situ on 150 samples and analyzed the resulting fluorescence.• Invented and developed software for the automated reproducible mechanostimulator (ARM) a device that I used to automate 3000 evoked rodent pain assays, and integrated it with Inscopix in vivo neural imaging.• Wrote grants and manuscripts based on research findings. • Mentored and directed the work of eight junior lab members.
