I want to use my broad working experience in research, development and production environments,
along with my educational background in Physics to start a career in the Oklahoma Aerospace
Industry.
TECHNOLOGY SKILLS
Programming in Java, Python experience
Brain Analyzer, AFNI (EEG data and fMRI data analysis programs)
Skilled in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint
ENGINEERING BACKGROUND
My extension software tools experience and Calculus/Physics training, translate well into
complex problem solving. My initial career interest was in Astrophysics.
WORK EXPERIENCE
DATA SCIENTIST – RESEARCHER – LAB MANAGER | Laureate Institute for Brain
Research | November 2017 – Present |
Inputting and running scripts for fMRI neurofeedback protocols using python and a
python based program called AFNI. Made sure multiple computers were in communication
during scans.
Analysis for fMRI data sets using GLM analysis
Analysis for EEG data sets using Brain Analyzer. Created protocol for study that involved
setting up scan specific variables
Inverse Independent Component Analysis for EEG data sets. Able to differentiate
between types of brain waves, MR scanner artifacts, Ballistic Cardio Artifacts
Set up EEG fmri compatible caps on subjects, Oversaw other lab’s preliminary scans,
troubleshot in real time during scan
Planned and set up weekly lab meetings, Helped PI produce materials for
Bioimaging class, utilized commands to create 3D images of the brain using scan images.
