About Me

I am currently working towards a PhD in Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University. My research focuses on the various ways that human behaviors affect the brain and contribute towards obesity. I have developed substantial mathematical and statistical knowledge throughout my data analysis. In addition, I have published a variety of publications in my field, and regularly write and edit federally-funded grants. I organize and run two academic journal clubs, one of which focuses on teaching the foundations of research and neuroscience to undergraduate college students. Beginning in 2014, I have continued to volunteer as a mentor to students interested in the applied sciences. Outside of work, I am a classically trained percussionist who enjoys biking, playing football, and managing two fantasy football leagues.

Q&A with Tristan

Every student has their own way of learning, and one of the first things I do as a tutor is identify which style is most effective with my client. How can you help a student become an independent learner? Everyone can be motivated to learn on their own, and as a tutor, it is my job to help identify individualized sources of motivation for each student. If I have assisted a student in becoming motivated to learn, I have succeeded. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
