Projects
Portfolio
A compact map of research systems, machine learning projects, and visual experiments across brain data, behavior, audio, images, and tools for collaborative science.
eLife reviewed preprint · PhD thesis · Multimodal fMRI
Naturalistic neural encoding in autism
Built a preregistered multimodal encoding pipeline linking naturalistic movie features to whole-brain fMRI in 171 youth, revealing altered visual feature weighting in autism-related pSTS and social/integration cortex.
ICCV 2021 · Cross-modal generation
Image2Reverb
An end-to-end model that predicts acoustic impulse responses from RGB images of spaces, enabling geometry-aware reverb synthesis from visual scenes.
Dataset engineering · Child speech · Public ML challenge
ReadNet pediatric speech dataset
Led first-year dataset engineering and QA/QC for ReadNet, preparing anonymized pediatric speech and literacy assessment data for a public DrivenData ML challenge that received 315 submissions and reached 0.97 AUROC.
VR · Eye-tracking · Visual attention
Naturalistic gaze and salience
End-to-end VR eye-tracking and salience modeling workflows for studying attention in immersive 360 degree scenes, including autism-relevant behavioral markers.
OHBM 2023 · Oral · Naturalistic fMRI
Brain networks via tensor decomposition
Applied NASCAR tensor decomposition to naturalistic movie-viewing and resting-state fMRI in a clinically rich cohort, identifying shared brain networks without ICA-style independence assumptions.
Web App · Visualization · Annotation
Neuroscout web tools
p5.js feature visualizer plus a web annotation platform for naturalistic movies—making Neuroscout-scale stimulus features explorable and producing structured labels for neuroimaging and ML.
Psychophysics × Pharmacology · GABA
GABAergic inhibition and perceptual awareness
Co-first-author pharmacology study showing that both GABA_A and GABA_B modulation increased perceptual suppression during binocular rivalry, providing causal evidence linking inhibition to perceptual awareness.
Rivalry · Autism · EEG · Computational neuroscience
Slower binocular rivalry in the autistic brain
Co-authored EEG study showing slower neural and behavioral rivalry dynamics in autism, with neural signals predicting symptom severity and classifying diagnostic status.
Stimulus reconstruction · Music · Neural decoding
Naturalistic music and neural representation
Master’s thesis linking naturalistic music stimuli to brain responses using computational modeling and a large-scale audio corpus.
Clinical Research · Alzheimer’s · Phase II/III
Alzheimer’s clinical trial coordination
Coordinated Phase II/III Alzheimer’s clinical trials, working directly with patients, caregivers, clinicians, and study protocols to support compliant, patient-centered research execution.
Fieldwork · Deep Sea · Coral
Deep-sea marine biology
Early research experience that taught me how to work carefully with unfamiliar systems, collect data under constraints, and stay curious outside the path I eventually took into ML and neuroscience.
Data sonification · Visualization · Marine science
Gulf of Mexico mosaic sonification
p5.js sonification and visualization for deep-sea coral mosaic dive sites in the Gulf of Mexico—interactive exploration of survey imagery with GitHub Pages demo.
Photography · Hardware · DIY
Infrared & full-spectrum camera mods
A curiosity-driven side project in hardware and imaging: modifying old cameras for near-infrared photography and experimenting with optics, disassembly, and post-processing.
