Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Foran is a data-focused software engineer with 16 years of experience supporting neuroimaging research, managing Linux environments, and building reproducible pipelines for MR, PET, and MEG data. At UPMC he coordinates multimodal datasets, maintains research servers and large storage, and implements version control and databases to keep collaborative projects running smoothly. He codes primarily in R, Python, MATLAB, and Bash, and develops behavioral paradigms (jsPsych, PsychoPy) while troubleshooting across OS X, Windows, and multiple Linux distros. Will’s background in computational biology and secondary mathematics gives him a strong mix of experimental rigor and quantitative thinking, and his hands-on approach extends to system administration and cluster job managers (Torque/PBS). Outside the lab he’s an avid outdoor athlete—he’s thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and completed an Ironman—which mirrors his persistence in untangling messy research data.
