Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnastasiya Salova is an interdisciplinary scientist with nine years of quantitative research experience and a strong track record in data analysis, modeling, and theory development across neuroscience, dynamical systems, and network science. She has led large-scale computational projects—constructing publication-driven collaboration networks, building contact networks from volumetric neuron meshes, and applying maximum-entropy models to millimeter-scale brain structure—while mentoring students and communicating results through tools like a finalist Shiny visualization app. Her work blends rigorous theoretical contributions (e.g., generalized cluster synchronization and higher-order interaction theory) with practical data engineering that produced public datasets and reproducible analyses. Based in Chicago and joining Uber as Scientist II, she brings a rare combination of mathematical depth, hands-on coding for complex, high-resolution biological data, and a demonstrated ability to translate experimental datasets into causal and actionable insights.
