Pietro Vertechi
I am a PhD student in Neuroscience at the Champalimaud Foundation (Lisbon, Portugal). During my PhD, I have mostly worked on behavioral task design, and computational models of behavior of biological and artificial agents. I have been using julia for a few years for my research, and have contributed to several julia packages for data analysis and visualization.

The Makie library supports interactive visualizations in 2D or 3D, both native and web-based. AlgebraOfGraphics.jl adds support for statistical visualizations in two ways. It implements visualizations for common analyses (frequency table, kernel density, linear and non-linear regressions...), and it offers a set of custom types that allow to express how the data should be grouped, styled, and analyzed. This unified syntax layer simplifies the creation of UIs for interactive data analysis.
