Description

I am an experienced Data Scientist/Neuroscientist with a PhD in Physics and a strong academic background in neuroimaging and electrophysiological data analysis, including Electro/Magneto-Encephalography (M/EEG) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging based methods (MRI, DTI, MTR, etc ...). My PhD in Physics provided me with a robust foundation in mathematical modeling, advanced statistics, and computational techniques. I am proficient in multiple programming languages, and I have extensive experience in processing of large-scale datasets.
