Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Denovellis is a computational research scientist with 11 years of experience specializing in scalable, interpretable algorithms for neural data analysis and brain-computer interfaces. Based in San Francisco, he develops and applies marked point process switching state-space models to categorize, decode, and visualize large-scale electrophysiological datasets in the Loren Frank lab at UCSF. His work spans signal processing, probabilistic machine learning, and statistics, and emphasizes close collaboration with experimentalists to make tools practical for real data. During his PhD and postdoc he produced novel insights into prefrontal cortex dynamics—linking synchronous oscillations to flexible context coordination—and built web-enabled interactive visualizations that integrate multi-dimensional neural recordings. His background in mathematics and philosophy underpins a rigorous, concept-driven approach to modeling complex neural computation.
