About Me
Hey there! I'm Manash. I'm currently in my first year of graduate school at the University of Houston pursuing my PhD in Developmental, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neuroscience. In short, I'm interested in how studying the development of human infants through the lens of cybernetics and control systems can lead to insights for building better robots and AI. I am also generally interested in software development, web development, and data science. Outside of academics, I love video games, everything Gundam/Gunpla, and hanging out with my 11-year old pup Holly.
Development
I love computer science. I use my knowledge to develop free and open-source tools that allow researchers to easily pre-process data. I'm most fluent in MATLAB, but also proficient in C/C++, Python, R, and JavaScript.
Data Analysis
I leverage a diverse array of statistical and computational tools to gain deep insights into data. I'm knowledgable in simple statistical techniques like N-way-ANOVAs, A/B testing, and linear mixed effects models as well as more complex techniques like unsupervised and deep learning.
Web Design
I enjoy web design as a hobby, but I also build simple and accessible websites for a small fee. If you like this website and need design solutions, shoot me an email!
