John graduated with a B.S. from the University of Miami where he majored in Economics and concentrated on topics in Econometrics and Game Theory. He later withdrew from his career as an Equities Trader on Wall Street to pursue his interests in Data Science and Bioinformatics. John will be applying his passion for quantitative analysis by implementing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques to help the BRAIN COGS team analyze light sheet microscopy data. He also plans to eventually pursue a graduate program in either Computer Science or Computational Biology.
