Hi, my name is David

I am a Computational Neuroscientist 🧠 seeking positions as an ML Engineer. Through my research, I study reinforcement learning in both real and artificial neural networks. I am particularly facinated by Deep Q-Learning and its applications in robotics and medicine

Welcome to my code repository!

👨‍🔬 Active Research Projects:

- On PFC threat processing --> Coming soon

DQN as a model of synaptic turnover

👨‍💻 Active Code Repositories:

- BrainBeam 🔦 - a cloud computing pipeline for analyzing whole-brain lightsheet datasets at petabyte scale - [BrainBeam Full-Stack (in progress) ]() - [BrainBeam Backend (finished) ]()

TwoPhoton 🔬 - python API for analysis of suite2P outputs.
- Primary python API
- Aurdino code
LinReg - Toolkit containing R and SAS functions/scripts for generalized linear mixed models, linear mixed models, linear models. Contains functions for plotting.
DeepLabCut based pipelines - Scripts for analyzing outputs of DeepLabCut, a pose-estimation software.
TMT_BEHAVIOR - Pipeline for simultaneous collection of raspberry-pi camera data.
- An inexpensive recording system for recording video data simultaneously across many hours
pMAT (forked into my repo "photometry"). - A guided user interface for analysis of fiber photometry data.

Please see pMAT for our original code

My repo "photometry" is forked from pMAT and is meant to be run in cloud via SLURM.

👨‍💻 Miscellaneous Code Repositories:
- CellQuant 🔦 - a cloud computing pipeline for analyzing whole-brain lightsheet datasets at petabyte scale - [BrainBeam Full-Stack (in progress) ]() - [BrainBeam Backend (finished) ]()

cuda_gpu_tools 🔬 - A few scripts for monitoring gpu usage.

Primary python API

Aurdino code

Tension Reader 🐶 - Python script for recording tension data for dogs via pi zero device.

📰 Published Research Projects
My previous research studied reinforcement learning by eulcidating how natural neural networks guide deicion making in rodents. This entailed recording neuronal activity from real neuronal circuits and then interpreting them through often complex analyses.
