Experience

  • Cajal Institute (CSIC)
    PhD Researcher Neurophysiology
    September 2022 - Today (3 years and 9 months)
    Madrid, Spain
    I joined a newly formed neurophysiology lab to study how sex hormones and hormonal cycles affect brain function and cognition. I built the lab's computational and analytical foundation for in-vivo neural recordings (fiber photometry, calcium imaging, electrophysiology) integrated with behavioral data, and led experimental design, surgeries, behavioral testing, analysis, and mentoring.
    • • Built and standardized the lab's core data-analysis pipelines for fiber photometry and electrophysiology (MATLAB; expanding to Python/R), now used by current and future researchers.
    • • Led end-to-end computational analysis of multimodal neural and behavioral datasets, applying advanced statistical methods and machine learning techniques (supervised and unsupervised).
    • • Contributed to experimental design and execution, animal surgeries, behavioral testing, and rigorous alignment of neural and behavioral data.
    • • Mentored students and new researchers in both experimental techniques, and data analysis; served as a go-to advisor for statistical guidance across labs.
    • • Presented research at international conferences, contributed to scientific manuscripts, and received a Best Oral Presentation award.
