About
Benjamín Garzón, PhD
As a data scientist, researcher and educator, I am passionate about transforming complex data into clear, meaningful solutions. I have always been interested in applying quantitative methods to interesting problems, particularly in the life and behavioural sciences. Over the course of my two-decade career working as a scientist in leading research institutions across several countries, I have had the opportunity to publish original research, build advanced data pipelines, and design and teach university-level courses that make high-level analytical tools accessible to a wide range of audiences. My work spans several fields, including cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, digital health, behavioural economics, and educational research.
