Background

About Richard Watts

I am driven by curiosity about how the world works, learning new skills for working with data, and applying them to solve challenging and important problems. I am an effective problem-solver and communicator, with exceptional data analysis, computational, and statistical skills. I am the go-to person for technical and computational problems - not simply for what I already know, but my willingness and ability to learn new things. I love to be challenged! For the last several years, I have been data mining large imaging datasets to explore the teenage brain, and how differences in the brain relate to behavior. My discoveries been featured in top-tier international journals including Science, Nature, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
