Research and Data Analysis Experience

September 2023 – Present

AEOP Data Scientist Research Fellow

U.S. Army Combat Capabilities

DEVCOM-ARL

I developed a scalable, automated data collection system using AWS, which improved data quality, reduced error, and increased collection speed by over 250 percent, laying a strong foundation for reliable, high-volume analytics. I also built predictive models of visual cognition based on behavioral data from a mobile game with over 15 million users, demonstrating my ability to translate large, complex datasets into clear, actionable insights that support decision-making and cognitive processes.

August 2018 – August 2023

Doctoral Researcher

Attention and Cognition Lab

The George Washington University

I applied advanced experimental techniques across over 10 projects (including behavioral tasks, fMRI, and virtual reality technology) to identify patterns in cognitive processes and validate findings with robust, converging evidence. I led a department-wide shift from in-person to online research by transitioning workflows from Python to web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and PHP, demonstrating adaptability and innovation. I also created a comprehensive guide for using AWS and Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) to conduct scalable, reliable online behavioral research.

August 2017 – December 2017

Senior Researcher

Alcohol, Learning, and Behavior Lab

Colgate University

I led an independent research project on alcohol use, regret, and cognitive dissonance, aiming to inform prevention strategies for alcohol use disorder. I managed all aspects of the study, from IRB submission and participant coordination to survey design and data analysis using SPSS. I recruited and organized participants through SONA and MTurk, ensured proper compensation, and maintained consistent communication with my research team. The project concluded with a final thesis and poster presentation grounded in both empirical findings and psychological theory.

May 2017 – August 2017

Research Assistant

Trope Laboratory

New York University

I collaborated with two doctoral candidates, contributing to study design by creating original experimental materials, conducting pilot tests through MTurk, and performing in-depth literature reviews to guide methodological development. I re-coded an existing experiment from E-Prime to PsychoPy to improve usability and streamline data collection. I also took and completed courses to earn 3 CITI certifications, ensuring ethical compliance and procedural rigor throughout the project.
