Professional Experience:

Neuroimaging Data Analyst Research Assistant – Brain Imaging Lab, UT Arlington Dec 15 - Present

Processed, analyzed & interpreted NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy), EEG data using several processing pipelines with 80% accuracy.

Developed MATLAB programs for dimensionality reduction algorithms like PCA, channel-wise time-series analysis, ICA, GLM, Wavelet, Transfer Entropy on acquired NIRS data to improve processing speed.

Handled 6 different research projects on clinical populations like DCD, CLBP, Breast Cancer and found plausible solutions through Linear regression, Graph Theory, Multivariate Analysis, spatio-temporal ICA, Functional connectomes.

Performed statistical analysis ranging from t-tests, ANOVA to linear mixed effect model using R for validating hemodynamic changes.

Assisted Investigators in the preparation of writing Research Report, manuscripts and grant proposals for publications.

Conducted NIRs and EEG data acquisition (including resting state & task based) on more than 60 subjects using Shimadzu LabNIRS and designed experimental protocols compliant with IRB Regulations.

Trained Research team on the novel techniques for processing and assisted PhD candidates for experimental studies.

Tools: MATLAB, Python (Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, Scikit, Sklearn), LabView, SolidWorks,R, Minitab, JMP, SPSS, MRI, NIRS-SPM,

HomER, Easy Topo, EEGLAB, BrainNET, GRETNA, FastICA.

Knowledge on: Neuromodulation, SPM, fMRI processing, Machine learning algorithms, statistical analysis

Research Works:
