Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOmer Gulban is a Researcher and Scientific Software Engineer with a decade of experience advancing ultra–high field MRI to map mesoscopic brain anatomy and function in living humans. With a PhD (cum laude) in Neuroscience from Maastricht University, he bridges rigorous experimental design and production-grade software to make meso-vessel and auditory-pathway imaging more accessible and reproducible. At Brain Innovation and through academic roles he has combined MRI experiment programming, data analysis, and tool development, bringing neuroscience-grade instrumentation into robust software workflows. An active open-source contributor, he has improved PsychoPy’s media and sound modules to resolve real-world stimulus playback issues—illustrating a knack for pragmatic bugfixes that enable better experiments. Based in Maastricht, he pairs deep domain expertise with practical engineering to translate cutting-edge MR methods into usable research infrastructure.

Contributions summary:Omer primarily focused on improving the `psychopy/psychopy` project's sound module and its interaction with movie playback. Their work included implementing dependency injection to resolve issues related to silent movies, addressing a moviepy-related bug, and fixing an example usage of the joystick. They made cosmetic changes and incorporated PEP 257 docstring changes, which involved the modification of docstrings.
