Brian Goodell

Hello! I'm Brian, a computer scientist currently working in the Flavell Lab at MIT to create tools for previously impossible neuroscientific experiments which shed light on sensory processing and decision making in biological systems.

Although I currently work in a Neuroscience lab, I come from academic backgrounds in Computer Science and Political Science, and have previously taught in a Spanish-immersion summer camp, ran workshops in a makerspace, mentored stats and machine learning classes, worked as an admissions interviewer, led a software development team, and been a ski instructor. All of these reflect the broad interest I have in learning, pushing myself in new environments, and teaching others. Outside the lab I love running, dancing, hiking, and skiing.
