Statistics and data science educator, researcher, mentor, and enthusiast.

I’d like to use my skills as a statistician, network scientist, and ML methodologist to help tackle big environmental and climate issues. Does anyone have good references or problems to look into?

Really interesting mathematical result on transformers. Nice work

Check out our new paper investigating sex differences in functional connectivity response to antidepressant treatment for those in late-life. The findings here may greatly reduce the time needed to assess pharmacological treatment efficacy for those with late-life depression
Hot off the press! My paper w/ @ThisIsJDWilson, @KarimH349, @HAizenstein, and @carmen_andree in @molpsychiatry on sex differences in functional connectivity related to remission with antidepressants in late-life! (1/6) rdcu.be/dgend

I’m so proud of our new work led by Elisabeth Salisbury of @PittPsychiatry. Personally as a dad of 3, I’m particularly excited about the potential for helping newborns in need. I am looking forward to our next work, and also I hope to see these findings put into practice.
Study of hospitalized newborns with prenatal opioid exposure showed that a novel crib mattress that provided gentle stochastic (random) vibration helped reduce medication treatment in some infants. ja.ma/3W3N8KM

Excited to share that our work lead by Ahmad Mayeli on alterations in RAR and negative symptoms in SSD was published today on @molpsychiatry. Thanks to @AliceLaGoy, @ThisIsJDWilson, @armandagostino, and the DIAPASON group. For more info, here is the link: rdcu.be/c9T67

Excited to see some of our recent work mentioned in a great piece on @NBCNightlyNews about predicting political leaning with fMRI (see time 1:43). Thank you for the mention @byjacobward . I look forward to seeing where AI and brain imaging goes from here.
Researchers are developing artificial intelligence technology they say generate the very images in our brains. @byjacobward shares more on the extraordinary research and the concerns about what mind reading technology could mean for the future.

This was a really fun project where we explored a testing-based community extraction method for heterogeneous networks. Despite the fact that many networks can (and should) be modeled as heterogeneous, methods for these data are still relatively sparse.
I've got some exciting news! I recently collaborated with @baileyfosdick and @ThisIsJDWilson to develop a hypothesis testing framework to extract of communities from heterogeneous networks (ECoHeN). A preprint of the article and software is available. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2212.10513

Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in psychosis. This meta-analysis demonstrates shared and distinct abnormal sleep features across at-risk, early, and chronic psychosis, supporting a role for targeted sleep interventions in these conditions. ja.ma/3XmoftB

Turns out (i) quite well: FC models predict conservative and liberal dichotomy with best model achieved ~ 74% accuracy (~0.82 AUC), (ii) an empathy (emotional faces), monetary reward, and retrieval task were most associated; (iii) FC provided a 10% increase in AUC in prediction

and (iv) activations of the amygdala, inferior frontal gyrus, and hippocampus were most strongly associated with political affiliation. This was a fun (observational) study, but I'm excited to think further about ties of FC with social dynamics and behavior.

Just got word that my work with @ThisIsJDWilson, @KarimH349, @carmen_andree, and @HAizenstein "Sex Moderates the Relationship between Functional Connectivity and Remission in Late-life Depression" was accepted for #OHBM2022. See ya'll in Glasgow!
