Research Work
Mental Map
We investigated how the brain encodes and retrieves spatial information through hippocampal activity in reward-based navigation.
North Atlantic Right Whale
We estimated the population size of critically endangered Right whales using Bayesian modeling and a database of 70,000+ sightings.
Mass Extinction
We developed statistical methods to estimate the duration of mass extinction events using fossil data.
Neuroscience
We analyzed brain imaging and behavioral data to identify early predictors of developmental risks in children.
Ecospace
We developed statistical models and interactive visualizations to map the ecological traits of marine life over 550 million years.
