At Boys Town National Research Hospital's Institute for Human Neuroscience, I analyze neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation data, clean and process signals, run statistical models, and create figures in R and MATLAB.

I've authored or co-authored three papers, including first-author work on high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, and have presented findings at national neuroscience conferences. I also operate and troubleshoot OPM systems, supporting 50+ scans with consistent, high-quality data collection.
