I am a research scientist with extensive expertise in molecular and cellular biology, neuroscience, immunology, oncology, image processing and analysis, statistics, and computer programming. My current position as Director of Scientific Research in a leading Neuromarketing research firm involves a lot of digital signal processing and data analysis, design of experiments, statistical modeling, human neuroscience research, and process optimization/automation.

My most recent current position was Chief Scientist with a startup biotech company, where I developed significant experience in management, business development, and laboratory process control.

Academic credentials include a B. S. in Neuroscience and Chemistry from USC (California), a PhD in Neuroscience from Caltech, and postdoctoral training at UCSD and Harvard/MIT (via a fellowship through the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing).
