Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVergil Haynes is a computational scientist and applied mathematician with eight years of experience translating nonlinear dynamical systems thinking into practical tools for neuroscience and biophysics. He designs and implements end-to-end analysis and ML pipelines that fuse in vivo optical physiology, electrophysiology, and spatial transcriptomics to reveal cell-type specific circuit dynamics. Comfortable at the intersection of theory, simulation and data, he has built multiscale models (NEURON, NetPyNE, The Virtual Brain), advanced signal-processing workflows for Neuropixels/LFP/SUA, and used simulations to boost ML feature engineering by >15%. A collaborative communicator and trainer, he’s advised dozens of student projects and contributed open-science data conversions (NWB) and reproducible tooling. Based in Greater Phoenix, he brings a rare combination of theoretical rigor, practical software engineering, and domain fluency that accelerates discovery in experimental neuroinformatics.
