My work combines electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and behaviour analysis with computation. A large part of that work happens at the systems level: designing acquisition hardwares, building analysis pipelines, and developing software tools that other researchers use. I am drawn to problems where understanding the biology actually changes what you build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><br>Get in
