Diptodip Deb
Entry Year: 2018
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: Georgia Institute of Technology
Lab: Srini Turaga
Thesis Project: "I develop programmable computational microscopes using differentiable simulations of wave optics to improve imaging of fast neural activity."

     
 

Fengtong Du
Entry Year: 2021
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: Communication University of China
Lab: Carsen Stringer

Thesis Project: "I develop the computation model to capture the neural activity of the mouse visual cortex in responses to visual textures. I also study how the neural representation of the mice develops and adapts as they experience their surroundings in a virtual reality environment."

     
 

Maanasa Natrajan
Entry Year: 2021
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: Drexel University
Lab: James Fitzgerald

Thesis Project: "I use modeling and theory to study the role of random neural exploration and local synaptic plasticity in learning, memory, and generalization."

     
 

Adithya Rajagopalan
Entry Year: 2017
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune
Lab: Glenn Turner


Thesis Project: "I study how D.  melanogaster learn to assign value to objects (in particular odors) that are predictive of uncertain rewards, and how they decide between objects with different probabilities of reward. The Mushroom Body circuit that serves as a neural basis for such computation very closely resembles models that were developed based on similar tasks in mammals. I aim to test the hypotheses made by these models."

     
 

Atika Ibrahim Syeda
Entry Year: 2022
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: University of Calgary

Hanqing Wang
Entry Year: 2019
Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University
Undergraduate Institution: Tsinghua University
Lab: Alla Karpova


Thesis Project: “I study the neural underpinnings for abstract task structure and behavioral strategy in rat frontal areas using electrophysiological recordings. The structure learning is being explored in the context of action sequencing under our rat behavioral framework.”
