Andrew Whiteman

Andrew is currently a graduate student in the Biostatistics program at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. He graduated from Boston University’s undergraduate neuroscience program in May of 2012.

As an undergrad, he worked with Dr. Karin Schon using high-resolution functional MRI techniques to examine the neural and physiological correlates of aerobic exercise mediated memory enhancement. His current professional interests include statistical praxis in MR image analysis, R programming, and the contributions the medial temporal lobe memory system makes to episodic and working memory.
