As a Senior Technical Officer, I work primarily within the centre’s Neuroscience of Addiction & Mental Health Program, driving multimodal neuroimaging analysis and applying statistical methods to aid in the cleaning and interpretation of high-dimensional data. In addition, I provide technical support and consultation within the centre and facilitate data management and data processing in local and international collaborations.
