Biography

I am a Visiting Scientist at Janelia, and prior to this was a postdoctoral scientist in the Spruston Lab, wherein I focused on the identifying and interpreting specific cell types in the hippocampus1-7, as well as building and testing computational models of hippocampal cells and circuits8-10. I run my laboratory at the University of British Columbia, where I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences and an Investigator in the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. I am also a Next Generation Leader with the Allen Institute.
