[Eeglablist] Moving On

[Toby Fernsler]

Dear Members of Eeglablist,
Due to budget shortfalls I will be moving on from my position here at 
SCCN as a maintainer of EEGLAB and the moderator of this list at the end 
of this month. It has been my great pleasure to support your research. I 
am currently looking for an appropriate position, if you have need of a 
mathematician with a strong background in functional neuroimaging please 
read on.

Sincerely,
Toby Fernsler, SCCN Programmer/Analyst





To Whom It May Concern,
I am seeking a position in a neuroimaging or BCI laboratory. 
Neuroscience in general and EEG in particular first attracted me because 
mathematically they are still in their infancy. I have had the good 
fortune to participate in the development of EEGLAB, a powerful software 
package for EEG researchers. There are a number of mathematical tools I 
would like to introduce to EEG/ERP research, in particular asymmetric 
wavelet analysis for greater time-frequency resolution, broadly and 
correctly applied statistical measures for feature extraction, and a new 
approach to the inverse problem that I have been developing for 
significantly improved source localization. I have the necessary 
mathematical background to accomplish these tasks, and the programming 
background needed to do this in a user-friendly form. I am seeking a 
position for August 1, 2007 in the San Diego area, although I would also 
consider a move to the Boulder/Denver area. Some of the objectives 
listed are long-term and if I am not already working on them I will 
certainly welcome future opportunities to pursue them.

Sincerely,
Toby Fernsler

CAREER OBJECTIVE: Mathematician/Programmer

MATHEMATICAL EXPERTISE
My experience is primarily in signal processing. This includes fourier 
analysis, wavelet analysis, numerical analysis, statistical significance 
testing, error analysis, optimization theory, PCA, ICA.

PROGRAMMING
Matlab, Mathematica, Fortran, C, C++, Visual Basic, XHTML, Java, MySQL

EDUCATION
PhD Candidate in Mathematics and Neuroscience, University of Colorado, 
2001-2005
Master of Arts In Mathematics. University of Colorado, 2001
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Minor in Physics. George Mason 
University 1996

EXPERIENCE
• Development and Support for the widely distributed Matlab package 
EEGLAB, a suite of programs which applies the latest methods in DSP to 
functional brain imaging for integrated EEG/ERP, iEEG, MEG, and fMRI 
research. Contributions include updated wavelet and statistical 
functionality, MRI and xray image coregistration, extensive debugging, 
developed software design guidelines and tools, significant 
documentation additions and revisions, customer support, workshop 
presentations, verifying and correcting mathematical algorithm 
implementations 2005 - Present SCCN/INC/UCSD
• Studied and implemented several waveform significance tests for EEG 
research. May 2004 - 2005 University of Colorado, Boulder
• Participated in the creation of a highly accurate and detailed neural 
model that runs on a networked cluster of Apple servers running Linux. 
2002-2004 University of Colorado
• Supported the development of improved algorithms for the range, 
accuracy and visualization of doppler weather radar. These programs are 
implemented in several installation around the world, and are scheduled 
to be applied to most doppler weather radars in the US within the next 
several years. UCAR (ATD/RAP) 1999-2001
• Taught a variety of math courses: Algebra, Calculus 1 and 2, 
Precalculus. Designed and taught CU's Trigonometry and Algebra Lab 
courses. Also TA'd for Numerical Analysis and Foundations of Math. 1997-2004
• Language Localization programming support at ILE, client projects I 
worked on included one for Microsoft. 1998
• Repaired large power supplies and built remote sensors and controls 
for them as a research assistant at the Naval Research Lab in 
Washington, D.C. 1996
• Prior to that I have worked in construction, as a commercial 
fisherman, and as a mechanic.

TARGET SALARY
$65k+

SECURITY CLEARANCE
None. I had confidential clearance in 1996 at the Naval Research Lab
I am an American Citizen with absolutely no criminal record and 
excellent credit.

LANGUAGES
read and write basic Korean, German
