“As a graduate student, I would be interested in working on a project related to the development and application of novel optical imaging platforms. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the relationship between physiological / cellular interactions and disease-states. There are a number of faculty developing high-resolution microscopes (and adjacent technologies, such as molecular biosensors and genetic engineering) to approach neurological questions and cytoskeletal dynamics. Additionally, the expansion of these technologies may expand therapeutic / pharmaceutical efforts in the future.”

“I’m interested in using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to model systems neuroscience circuits. This approach can accurately model systems neuroscience measurements compared to traditional models. And we can leverage explain-ability tools of ANNs to investigate how the ANN recreates the neural measurements, and its responses to perturbations. By bridging the connection between systems circuits and ANNs, I hope to develop more accurate ANNs, and use it as in-silico testbed for clinical neuroscience.”

“I am interested in exploring the role of glial cells in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, I am interested in how glial cells influence neural circuit formation and synaptic plasticity. Finally, I aim to undercover novel cellular and molecular targets that can be utilized to treat or prevent various CNS diseases.”
