I am a senior software developer 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 maintainer of XCP-D and ASLPrep, a core developer of tedana, and a member of the maintainers group for the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). I also do what I can to help maintain other tools from the PennLINC lab, including CuBIDS, BABS, and QSIPrep.
I was also the primary developer of NiMARE, a Python library for neuroimaging meta-analyses, during grad school.
