Current Computer Science Masters student, full-time Heart Mapper, and Neuroscience graduate.
Bio
I am passionate about the merger between Computer Science and the natural Sciences. I initially spent time at Brown University exploring that combination with Biomedical Engineering. I did not find there to be enough of the natural sciences, so I switched and finished my degree in Neuroscience. I spent 5 years working (where I currently am) at Biosense Webster in Johnson & Johnson, exploring far more of the biological side of my interests. This year I began a Masters Program at the University of Pennsylvania to bring back to the computer side of my interests. My hope is to merge my experience and passions for Neuroscience and Computer Science to work in the field of General Intelligence.
My Work Experience
