🧠 ⚙️ I am a neuroscientist and machine learning engineer at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychiatry, and international relations.

💎 I am honored to be a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) / Ford Foundation Early-Career Fellow, Burroughs Wellcome Fund / Charles Revson Scholar, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Leading Edge Fellow. 🏆

🎓 I have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences at Cornell University, and a B.A. in Biophysics from Columbia College at Columbia University. $~$

✨ I am currently developing novel approaches for cluster-aware machine learning of neuroimaging, behavioral, and omic data 🏂, and I am deploying them for AI-informed precision neuropsychiatry.

🚀 I pioneered a novel imaging transcriptomics approach for biological subtyping, and identified four distinct subtypes of autism spectrum disorder linked to differing molecular pathways. $~$

💬 I love to share and present my work, and to collaborate. I have presented at over 50 forums including conference presentations, invited seminars/lectures at academic institutions, invited public commmunity science talks, and invited panelist speaking engagements in North America, Europe, and Asia.

📬 Get in touch here if you'd like to invite me to give a talk or chat about any of our shared interests! Reach out if you are interested in collaborating on machine learning, applications in neuroscience and psychiatry, science diplomacy, science communication/advocacy, or scientific illustration!

💻 Check out my website to see the latest updates on my work, and follow me on 🐦 Twitter @amandambuch. $~$

👐 I am a science diplomat and communicator. For example, see my work for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Center for Science and Diplomacy and for Story Collider.

🌐 As a science diplomat, I facilitate community engagement between the international scientific community and the public. I also research and advocate for policy-wide changes to enhance international scientific collaboration, equity, and inclusion. $~$

🎨 I am a classically-trained visual artist who studies drawing and painting in the classical tradition at Grand Central Atelier in NYC, and I am a scientific illustrator (see one example here).
