About Me
Hi, thanks for stopping by my "About Me" section!
I'm Anna, a current PhD Candidate/Researcher & Data Science Scholar alum @ Stanford University.
My PhD research involves analyzing MRI data to build more precise human brain models of neural plasticity induced by learning (you can read more in my Research section). My email is xua!at!stanford!dot!edu (delete the exclamation marks).
Here's about a bit about my past work/research experience:
- Previously, I've worked as a data analyst at Penn Lifespan, Informatics, and Neuroimaging Center. Here, I primarily worked on using meta-analyses to evaluate the use of MRI for biomarker development in chronic pain.
- Before that, I graduated from Brown University with a BSc in cognitive neuroscience, where I've conducted research on the effects of performance feedback on fatigue and effort (advised by Amitai Shenhav).
I made this site to conveniently put all my links in one place. Outside of academic research and data science, I like to paint, go on adventures outdoors, and play games like Pokémon (Gastrodon is my beast, except against grass types...)
Cheers! :-)
Mori Point in Pacifica, CA, USA. One of my favorite spots ever!
