Graduate Student
Michaela is a year 4 PhD student in the Harvard Program in Neuroscience, and previously received an M.Eng and B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. She is investigating machine learning techniques to predict behavior from wrist actigraphy, in particular detecting rituals in OCD. She also works on software development for data cleaning and visualization tools across lab projects.
