Biography
Carsen Stringer is a group leader at HHMI Janelia Research Campus. Her lab develops algorithms for understanding large-scale neural activity. In addition, the lab works on general segmentation algorithms for cellular data, which enable fast and accurate processing of ~50,000 neuron recordings.
Carsen did her PhD work at University College London on computational neuroscience with Kenneth Harris and Matteo Carandini, and her postdoc at Janelia with Marius Pachitariu.
If interested, check out this longer biography written by Daniela Cassataro for Stories of Women in Neuroscience (includes a podcast version). I also talk about past and current work in this podcast with Paul Middlebrooks.
