#### Who am I

I am the Director of Open Data in Neuroscience Initiative and a Principal Research Scientist 
at the [McGovern Institute for Brain Research](http://mcgovern.mit.edu/) at MIT, an 
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at Harvard Medical School, 
and a faculty member in the [Speech and Hearing Biosciences and
Technology](http://dms.hms.harvard.edu/shbt/) program in the Harvard Division of
Medical Sciences. I am a computer scientist and computational neuroscientist by training 
and direct the [Senseable Intelligence Group](https://sensein.group/).

#### What do I do

My research interests span computer science and neuroimaging, specifically in
the areas of applied machine learning, signal processing, and translational
medicine. My current research portfolio brings together speech, brain imaging,
and neuroinformatics to address gaps in scientific knowledge in three areas:

1) **Speech and clinical applications:** Understanding the neural basis and 
translational applications of human spoken communication and applying speech
technology to healthcare, specifically psychiatric, neurodegenerative, and
speech motor control disorders. More generally, to see the spoken signal as 
a window into our mind and health, more broadly.

2) **Machine learning for personalized medicine:** Integrating imaging, genetic, 
and behavioral data using machine learning algorithms for clinical diagnosis,
prognosis, and treatment prediction. We link predictability with explainability 
and interpretability, alongside ethical and diverse data and models.

3) **Neuroinformatics and reproducible research:** Preserving information for 
reproducible research and knowledge generation. We do this by establishing 
standards for organizing scientific information and creating performant tools 
to address the data and information deluge and reproducibility.

[My research group](https://sensein.group/) develops robust, predictive models 
around human health and novel analytic platforms, and establishes 
collaborations across disciplines. I was one of the lead architect of the 
[Nipype dataflow platform](http://nipy.org/nipype), an ardent proponent of 
decentralized and distributed Web solutions for data sharing, querying, and 
computing, and a strong believer in solving problems together.
