Research Associate

I'm focusing on questions in neuroscience that can be answered only by having precise wiring diagrams. To get these diagrams I am working on new ways (algorithms) to extract and study neuron wiring diagrams from volume electron microscopy. I've applied my...

I am a neurobiologist, and my core scientific interest lies in understanding the physical basis of fundamental neuronal circuitry of the human brain and how it changes with experience, disease, and the process of aging. Studying the comprehensive analysis...

As a postdoc with a computer science background, I am working on data processing and analysis related to the connectomics studies of neural tissue volumes acquired with electron microscopy. The main focus of my current work is developing faster and more...

Richard Schalek is a Research Associate in Prof. Jeff Lichtman’s laboratory. Richard oversees the operation and maintenance of various microscopes and ancillary sample preparation equipment. In addition, he is responsible for user training and laboratory...

I am interested in understanding, from a computational standpoint, how brains process information. They do this in a large network of interconnected computational elements (neurons) which communicate with chemical and electrical signals. In mammalian...
