Developed and supported a complex Java desktop application, Meteor, enabling Wells Fargo traders to perform real-time trading of government and industry-issued bonds in the open market. • Utilized Bloomberg application program interface (API) to import data from the Bloomberg database on the application• Adapted an in-house enterprise-wide security framework to enable authentication, authorization, and encryption within Meteor

Stony Brook, Ny

Supported research of various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions using multi-modality medical imaging. Responsibilities included processing imaging datasets using MATLAB, Python and Bash as well as introducing new techniques into the lab. • Introduced task-based and resting-state data processing pipelines to the lab for analyzing complex 4-dimensional functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets• Conducted in-depth training of interns in various resting-state fMRI analysis techniques, which included seed-based analysis, independent component analysis (ICA), and graph• Oversaw the evaluation, purchase and installation of multiple high-cost peripherals into the existing simultaneous positron emission tomography–magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MR) scanner to initiate fMRI experiments in the same• Took charge of fMRI paradigm implementation, along with the complete setup of the autism PET–MR study• Worked on different studies, which included Adolescent Development of Emotions and Personality Traits (ADEPT) and Autism PET–MR study

Columbus, Ohio

Organized and conducted biomedical imaging research in multiple projects including Economic Risk, Autism, MCI, and cocaine-withdrawal studies. Managed all fMRI projects in the lab with experience in GE and Phillips high-field (3T, 7T) scanners. Responsibilities included experimental design, recruitment, screening, subject training, simultaneous imaging and behavioral data acquisition, data preprocessing, data analysis, statistical modeling, thresholding, interpretation and publication of results. • Generated a neural network model for context utilization and reviewed current state of neural network models in Autism Spectrum Disorders that were published in peer-reviewed publications• Initiated collaboration with various departments, including Economics and Psychology geared towards advancing imaging research

Columbia, Missouri Area

• Performed in-depth analysis of fMRI datasets using statistical parametric mapping (SPM) software written for MATLAB• Utilized various image-processing algorithms to preprocess the data, including algorithms such as realignment (motion correction), coregistration, normalization, and Gaussian smoothing• Performed statistical thresholding on preprocessed images analyzed through General Linear Model (GLM) to obtain results that made significant contributions to scientific knowledge and enhanced organizational success• Multi-tasked by handling various studies in functional MRI, including MCI, Autism and Cocaine Withdrawal projects
