Research Thread

Scientific Software & Infrastructure

Making computational methods reusable, inspectable, and accessible.

This thread treats software, dashboards, reports, and graphical interfaces as scientific outputs. The work packages analytic methods into tools that collaborators can inspect, reuse, and extend.

Scientific Question

How can methods become shared infrastructure rather than one-off analysis code?

Software
SciDataReportR An open-source framework for reproducible biomedical data analysis and reporting. MEAnalyzer Published, citable, downloadable MATLAB software for multi-electrode array data analysis. Dashboards and Reporting Frameworks Scientific interfaces that make analysis outputs inspectable and reusable. Computational Phenotyping Pipelines Reusable analysis pipelines for latent structure, clustering, and subgroup discovery.
Research Areas
Software Systems Scientific software as scholarship, infrastructure, and translational method. Reproducible Infrastructure Scientific systems that make computational research reusable, inspectable, and extensible. Scientific Visualization Visual systems for making complex analyses interpretable, inspectable, and useful.
