Summary
Rick Gilmore is a multidisciplinary developmentalist and neuroscientist with 13 years of professorial experience at Penn State and a longer academic trajectory spanning research, teaching, and center leadership. He co-founded Databrary.org to enable ethical, secure sharing of video data and has blended vision science, data science, and open-science advocacy to transform behavioral research infrastructure. At Penn State he has built and led teams, secured funding, and directed human imaging resources, translating complex neuroimaging and behavioral methods into reproducible science. Trained at Carnegie Mellon (Ph.D.), he pairs deep cognitive neuroscience expertise with practical tool-building for the research community, including an emphasis on transparency that accelerates discovery in developmental science. An atypical combination of academic rigor and product-minded platform work makes him adept at moving science from paper to shareable, reusable data assets.
