Alan Carroll

I am a computational scientist and neuroscience Ph.D. with over six years designing automated experimental platforms, data analysis pipelines, and interactive visualization tools. I build hardware/software solutions that reduce time and resource costs while enabling reproducible science.

At my Ph.D. lab I engineered an automated touchscreen cognitive assessment platform that halved space needs and cut costs tenfold versus commercial systems, and I developed automated preprocessing pipelines with the scientific Python stack to reduce analysis turnaround by approximately 50%.

I create interactive GUIs and dashboards (Kivy, Matplotlib) so non-technical collaborators can explore high-dimensional neurophysiological data, and I architect modular client–server systems for real-time experiment monitoring that dramatically increase throughput.

I have led cross-functional teams of up to 15, mentored junior researchers in surgical and analysis techniques, and contributed to multiple publications on vagus nerve stimulation, neuroplasticity, and behavior. I am passionate about interdisciplinary approaches to understand complex systems and solve real-world problems.
