Research Experience
- Completed postdoctoral research with Dmitriy Aronov at Columbia, pioneering the use of black-capped chickadees as a model system for systems neuroscience.
Education
- Received a PhD from Harvard in the Harvey lab, where he developed an all-optical method ('influence mapping') permitting functional and structural characterization of a neural population.
Background
- A systems neuroscientist studying the neural mechanisms underlying cognition. Particularly drawn to dynamic cognitive abilities utilized during natural behavior, such as chickadee food-caching behavior. Specializes in unlocking novel research directions via tool development, with expertise in electrophysiological, optical, behavioral and computational methods.
Miscellany
- Lab opens in 2026 at Yale Neuroscience in affiliation with the Wu Tsai Institute. Looking for graduate students, technicians and postdocs to work on these topics — reach out if interested!
