About Me

I am a Ph.D. neuroscientist and engineer with years of experience working on high-throughput neural interface software, electrophysiology algorithms, synchronized multi-camera systems, and multimodal neural data.

I also work on advocating for more equitable access for everyone to our shared cities, housing, health, and environment.

Work

I am currently a principal scientist in R&D at Natus Medical, working on new products, systems, and strategy for medical electrophysiology and neurodiagnostics. I also build deployable machine learning tooling and algorithms.

I hold a Ph.D. in Neuroengineering from the University of Washington Center for Neurotechnology. My computational neuroscience work focused on human sensorimotor neural signals of hand grasping and 3D perspectives.

Previous work:

I am a member of IEEE and ARRL.

Advocacy

I volunteer with Share The Cities and More Parks for More Neighbors Coalition, volunteering collectives in the Pacific Northwest making noises for affordable housing and green spaces, and equitable access to reliable internet.

I also helped organize and coauthor Not Binary, a collective scientists’ statement refuting the 2018 U.S. administration’s gender policies. This resulted in 2000+ professional scientist signatories, including 9 Nobel laureates, and major media reporting ( organizing thread)
