Kimberly Nestor

Kimberly completed a BA in Neuroscience at Wheaton College, MA where she conducted neurobiology research. She joined the Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she initially did histological staining of ex vivo human brain tissue to aid with the development of neuroimaging analysis package FreeSurfer.

She became interested in data science and computational neuroscience while working in the lab and subsequently switched over to a solely computational role. She is currently also studying Applied Data Analytics, MS at Boston University, to further develop skills necessary to conduct computational neuroscience research in a doctoral program in the future. Research interests include neuroimaging, computational psychiatry, data science and machine learning.
