Hire Casey B. - Machine Learning Engineer

* Class Title: Modern Neuroscience Tools * Held office hours, guest lectured, designed assignments, and led lab sessions on topics covering electrophysiology, optics, calcium imaging, and image/signal processing * Awarded Outstanding Teaching Assistant for the BME Department in Fall 2021

* Dissertation: Neural network approaches for cortical circuit dissection and calcium imaging data analysis * Developed a deep learning pipeline to predict underlying neural activity using spatiotemporal information from fluorescence videos that improved detection of low signal-to-noise events * Designed and built a semi-supervised pipeline for neuron segmentation that used 1/4 as many ground truth labels as fully supervised methods while maintaining accuracy on par with human labeling * Created a spiking model of the visual cortex that replicated diverse properties of various cell types found in vivo * Applied graph theory and machine learning to identify properties of optimal pattern completion neurons
