Architected and led all R&D efforts across neuroscience, computation, data, and hardware to build a neural interface for silent speech transcription.

Led the advanced engineering department at Janelia/HHMI, where we invented a variety of novel technologies and instruments to push forward the frontiers of neuroscience, imaging, and cell biology.

Fundamental research in systems neuroscience, focused on the neural basis of sensorimotor control, internal models, and prediction. I led a lab that pursued these questions in the salamander and the dragonfly, where we worked towards developing a mechanistic description of prey capture and its behavioral strategy in terms of the underlying neural circuit dynamics.

Postdoc in the lab of Markus Meister, where we researched how populations of retinal ganglion cells encode and predict prey motion on the salamander retina.

Doctoral work in the lab of Mark Konishi, investigating the neural basis of how songbirds learn and maintain their songs; collaborative projects with Michale Fee at Bell Labs.

Undergraduate research in the lab of Herb Simon, studying and developing expert systems and AI for economic problem solving
