Last updated: September, 2017
Last year I finished working as a graduate student in Attila Losonczy's lab at Columbia University. My experiments consisted of imaging the activity of large neuronal populations during behavior in the mouse. My thesis work examined the relationship between cellular and functional diversity in hippocampal microcircuits.
Prior to this I spent a year working as a research assistant at Yale University with Hal Blumenfeld studying human epilepsy. I was a mathematics undergraduate major at Princeton.
After I graduate, I'm excited to be joining the team at CTRL-Labs!
