		Chris Barnes Entry Year: 2014 Current Institution: University of Cambridge Undergraduate Institution: University of Cambridge Lab: Albert Cardona Thesis Project: I am using computer vision techniques to speed up manual reconstruction of neuronal circuits from electron micrographs, in order to investigate synaptic morphology and connectivity in larval Drosophila.

		Davis Bennett Entry Year: 2013 Current Institution: University of Chicago Undergraduate Institution: UNC Chapel Hill Lab: Misha Ahrens Thesis Project: Using whole-brain functional imaging of larval zebrafish to identify brain structures involved in the execution of motor behaviors

		Matthew Isaacson Entry Year: 2014 Current Institution: University of Cambridge Undergraduate Institution: University of Florida Lab: Michael Reiser Thesis Project: Using behavioral methods, optogenetics, and 2-photon calcium imaging to investigate the encoding of behaviorally relevant visual signals and their integration into ongoing behavioral actions in Drosophila.

		Chongxi Lai Entry Year: 2014 Current Institution: University of Cambridge Undergraduate Institution: George Washington University Lab: Tim Harris

		Brian Lustig Entry Year: 2012 Current Institution: University of Chicago Undergraduate Institution: Vanderbilt University Lab: Albert Lee Thesis Project: I am using large-scale silicon probe recordings combined with optogenetic perturbations in rats while they perform a memory task to study how neural activity in the hippocampus supports memory.

		Maksim Manakov Entry Year: 2013 Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Institution: Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Lab: Alla Karpova Thesis Project: I am building a voluntary head fixation rig for in vivo two photon imaging in rats. It will be used to study rule representation and action planning.


		Martin Peek Entry Year: 2011 Current Institution: University of Chicago Undergraduate Institution: California Institute of Technology Lab: Gwyneth Card Thesis Project: The anatomical and functional characterization of descending neural circuits in Drosophila melanogaster

		James Phillips Entry Year: 2013 Current Institution: University of Cambridge Undergraduate Institution: University of Oxford Lab: Josh Dudman Thesis Project: My project combines genetic and imaging technologies in rodents to investigate how the outcome of movement is used to guide motor learning.

		Mikhail Proskurin Entry Year: 2013 Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Institution: Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Lab: Alla Karpova Thesis Project: I study the role of norepinephrine in encoding of the internal model.

		Amrita Singh Entry Year: 2016 Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Institution: Lab: Karel Svoboda

		Javier Valdes-Aleman Entry Year: 2014 Current Institution: University of Cambridge Undergraduate Institution: Universidad Politecnica del Estado de Morelos Lab: Marta Zlatic Thesis Project: I study the principles governing synaptic selectivity in a proprioceptive circuit in Drosophila using developmental live imaging, electron microscopy reconstruction of neural circuits, and single cell type sequencing.


		Zhihao Zheng Entry Year: 2011 Current Institution: Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Institution: Sun Yat-sen University Lab: Davi Bock Thesis Project: Network connectivity in the Drosophila mushroom body from a whole-brain transmission electron microscopy volume
