Personal Introduction
I am a neuroscientist at the Allen Institute who works on large scale electron microscopy reconstructions of neural circuits. I have a undergraduate background in physics and computer science which I leverage to build distributed web systems for computational analysis and collaborative editing of large scale data. These open science APIs are used by researchers around the world to analyze connectomes of mice, fly and human brain. I use these tools to study the patterns of connectivity amongst diverse cells and cell types within the brain and understand the mechanisms of computation in neural circuitry.
