I study network dynamics while animals learn. My work spans from the bench, performing whole cell patch clamp and calcium imaging, to creating custom hardware and machine vision pipelines to understand behavior.

Neuroscience

Understanding complex behavior through the lens of network dynamics. I focus on single neuron input computations and network dynamics. My experimental experience is in whole cell patch clamp, optogenetics, calcium imaging, electrophysiology and animal behaviour.

To scale these experiments, I build custom hardware setups based on Raspberry Pi for electrophysiology, optogenetics integration, and highly specific behavioral assays. I pair this with machine vision pipelines for robust, automated behavior analysis.

Open Source Tools

I am actively involved in both hardware and open-source software development to rapidly prototype and ship tools that solve practical scientific problems.

A key example is SynaptiPy, a framework I maintain for analyzing electrophysiological signals. By prioritizing utility and pragmatism over complex ceremony, I keep research workflows moving quickly while maintaining open-source tools for the community.

R&D Consulting

I help teams integrate rigorous scientific methodologies into their product development loops. From designing biological experiments to building custom data analysis tools and hardware rigs, I offer practical, reliable solutions. Focus is strictly on reproducibility, clear signal-to-noise ratios, and sustainable architectures without any of the hype.
