I am a Research Scientist at Google in Mountain View, California, where I lead the Connectomics team.

With partners at HHMI, Max Planck, and Harvard, our team has achieved several milestones in synapse-resolution brain mapping (press about our fly and human brain work), developed Neuroglancer (widely used software for visualizing multidimensional data in the browser) and TensorStore (infrastructure for managing petascale multidimensional data; used, for example, to manage checkpoints of nearly all large-scale LLMs trained at Google), and published numerous ML algorithms and advances for interpreting 3d images.

I currently also serve on the Scientific Advisory Council of the Allen Institute for Brain Science and on the Advisory Board for the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative Imaging program.

From 2011-2013 I was a Laboratory Head at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Janelia Research Campus. In 2004 completed my undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania with degrees in Computer Science and Cognitive Science, followed by a PhD in Computation at MIT.
