Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhillip Witkowski is a postdoctoral researcher at NIDA with nine years of research and data science experience focused on the neural mechanisms of motivation and decision making. He holds a PhD (in progress) and dual high‑honors undergraduate degrees from UC Davis, and brings advanced proficiency in Python, R, and MATLAB alongside intermediate JavaScript. His work spans experimental design, large-scale data analysis (including datasets up to millions of entries), and computational approaches like machine learning, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian statistics.
