Alan Carroll

I am a dynamic problem solver with a background in systems neuroscience and data science. I am passionate about using interdisciplinary approaches to understand complex systems and solve real-world problems. With a strong foundation in Python, JavaScript, MATLAB, R, Clojure/script, and WASM, I bring versatile skills and creative agility to move projects forward.

One of my notable achievements is pioneering an automated touchscreen platform to evaluate learning and memory in rodents. I devised a modular software architecture that facilitated custom task delivery and real-time monitoring through a central server, accelerating dynamic experimental throughput. This platform achieved a 2x reduction in spatial requirements and a 10x reduction in cost compared to commercial alternatives, while offering increased customizability and user-friendliness.

In addition, I have developed an automated data preprocessing tool using a scientific Python stack, enhancing the efficiency and reproducibility of auditory neurophysiological data analysis. I crafted a user-friendly GUI using Kivy and matplotlib, streamlining the data exploration process and enabling interactive engagement with large and complex auditory datasets.
