University Of Texas At San Antonio Work Values

Daily Duties at University Of Texas At San Antonio:

Responsible for statistical and mathematical models supporting projects funded by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of National Institutes of Health. Implemented disease models of Parkinsonian condition. Modeled excitability, synchrony, and input-output gain relations using Hodgkin-Huxley equations. Specific projects are: - Develop correlation methods to differentiate signal from noise in recordings of non-stationary time series. - Develop C++ codes to simulate networks of brain neurons modeling Parkinson's disease models. - Record spiking activity of rat brain slices, and analyze using statistical methods. - Develop an overall strategy to study synchronization of neurons using weakly coupled oscillator theory. Utilized analytical, computational and statistical methods extensively. Employed C++ coding with object oriented programming. Codes were also developed using Matlab and Mathematica. Carried out t-test, F-test, chi-squared tests, survival analysis, ANOVA, ARIMA, Fourier, wavelet transforms, and time-delay embedding techniques on large neuronal data sets. Extensively used SAS, Matlab and R for statistical analysis. Collaboratively worked with other scientists. The above projects also led to a number of refereed publications in eminent peer reviewed journals, and a number of conference poster presentations.
