Research Abstract
I have always found the biology of cognition and cortex fascinating. To become an expert in pursuit of this interest I have completed a degree in Psychology with an emphasis on cognitive neuroscience. I command a wealth of knowledge in research and the domains of the biological, physical, and neurological sciences. I received credit for a topics concerning the brain and biology including Genetics, Neurobiology, Neuropharmacology, General Chemistry, Physics, Cell Biology, & General Biology. Recently, I was awarded grant funding for a study investigating auditory sensory disorders in patients, their clinical characterization, identification, and treatment.

In my current position as a researcher at the University of California, Irvine, my primary focus is in the collection of data through survey or biometric imaging, and statistical analysis of said data using descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistics, including gold standards such as ANOVA, and t-tests. To excel in our collection of data, I have implemented countless novel tools and software to better model and survey our subjects, from open source javascript libraries such as jsPsych & jsSurvey, to custom coded modeling programs for fMRI analysis, N-back tests, visual and auditory stimulus interactions, and Python scripts to aggregate and analyze subject data. My studies specialize in neuroperception and multi-modal research to investigate the structure and function of visual, auditory, and multi-sensory cortex in normal, healthy adults and in patients with a variety of neurological disorders and damage. I utilize a plethora of tools in my investigations that include cutting-edge neuroimaging standards, such as structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (s/fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), as well as behavioral/psychometric measurements, genetic assays, psychopharmacology, sociological analysis, and mathematical modeling.
