Welcome to the Keeley Lab! Here, we use methods statistics and machine learning to understand complex neuroscience and behavioral data. We are located at the Lincoln Center campus at Fordham University in New York City.
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Natural Sciences at Fordham University. I do research at the interface of machine learning and neuroscience. I am also a Guest Researcher at the Center for Computational Neuroscience at the Flatiron Institute. My work primarily focuses on bayesian statistical methods for high dimensional neural data sets with a focus on latent variable models.
I completed my Ph.D. at NYU's Center for Neural Science in the labs of John Rinzel and Andre Fenton, and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Jonathan Pillow.
