WORK HISTORY
Research Software Developer @Ucsb Department Of Physics
Conducted data-driven research on zebrafish group behavior, integrating experimental observations with computational simulations to investigate the role of vision in collective dynamics. Developed and optimized simulation models to replicate real-world behavioral patterns and validated them through statistical comparison with experimental datasets.Designed and implemented data processing pipelines using Python (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib) to analyze movement patterns and extract quantitative metrics from large datasets. Currently authoring a pre-print publication on the experimental-computational framework.Key contributions include improving model accuracy through parameter tuning, applying statistical tests to compare datasets, and creating data visualizations for presentations and publications.
