Bio

Billy Broderick joined the Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN) as an associate data scientist in fall 2022. He is a core developer of the open-source Python package Plenoptic and assists the CCN community in sharing their code and making their research reproducible. He received his Ph.D. from NYU’s Center for Neural Science in May 2022, where he studied the processing of information in the primary visual cortex using computational models, fMRI and psychophysics.
