I am a Scientist at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, focusing on data science techniques for helping to understand nanoscale connectomes.

I did my PhD in the Deparment of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Joshua Vogelstein and Carey Priebe in the NeuroData lab. My thesis developed statistical and computational techniques for analyzing connectome data, and applied them to the connectome of an insect brain.

I am also a developer of graspologic (formerly called GraSPy), an open-source Python package for doing statistical analyses of network data which I now co-develop with Microsoft Research. I am broadly interested in making data analysis techniques in neuroscience more accessible through open-source software.
