About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Ted Satterthwaite’s Lifespan Informatics & Neuroimaging Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

I graduated from Florida International University with a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience. My advisor was Dr. Angie Laird. My primary focuses in graduate school were on neuroimaging meta-analysis and multi-echo fMRI data analysis.

Prior to graduate school, I graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Psychology, before spending two years as a research assistant at Dr. Cameron Carter’s Translational Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience lab at the University of California, Davis.

I am interested in meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, the improvement and standardization of statistical methods in cognitive neuroscience, management of large datasets, and open source software development.

Outside of my research projects, I am the primary developer of NiMARE, a Python library for neuroimaging meta-analyses, a core developer of tedana, a Python library for multi-echo fMRI denoising, and a member of the maintainers group for the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS).
