In the Stamoulis Lab at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital, I conduct research into the multi-scale organization of developing brain networks, focusing on how neural circuitry evolves throughout adolescence to facilitate cognitive function and behavior. I analyze fMRI data with novel computational techniques to investigate network dynamics under various stressors, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This work strengthens my skills in computational neuroscience, data analysis, and advanced modeling techniques essential to understanding the neural basis of behavior across development.

In the Goris Lab at the UT Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience, I managed backend rig setups for psychophysics experiments on macaques. I worked on transitioning their data collection framework and MATLAB experiments to a test Linux environment, setting up RAID arrays for data integrity, and making Python scripts for efficient file cataloging. I also developed Linux protocols for system replication, backup, and RAID configuration, strengthening my skills in technical problem-solving, process documentation, and data handling.
